Canoë Ottawa
Description
Selon Kenneth E. Kidd, conservateur au département d'Ethnologie du Royal Ontario Museum, Canada (26/11/1956), ce modèle serait celui d'un canot de transport construit sur le type Ojibwa répandu dans la région du Lac Supérieur, fin 18e ou début 19e (il est en effet plus grand que ceux des Ojibwa et présente 8 bancs au lieu des 3 habituels). Il est équipé de 8 bancs : 6 bancs de nage avec 6 pagaies, un banc (le troisième) excavé pour l'emplanture d'un mât, un banc pour le 'barreur'. L'écorce est cousue, ce qui indique une fabrication datant plutôt du 18e siècle (l'écorce sera ensuite chevillée puis clouée au 19e siècle)
