Worlds Oldest Birchbark Canoe Discovered
I dont often steal true news items from other blogs, figuring that they do a good job speaking for themselves -- Gavin Atkins In the Boatshed blog in particular. But Gav has posted news so interesting that I feel compelled to make sure my readers see it, on the off chance that they dont subscribe to his blog (which they should). Its about the discovery in England of what is probably the worlds oldest birchbark canoe -- an American Indian canoe from Canada, thought to be about 250 years old.http://intheboatshed.net/2010/12/09/250-year-old-birch-bark-canoe-in-cornish-barn-to-be-returned-to-canada/Theres more about it in the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association Forum:http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?t=6917
