TitlePhotograph of a dugout canoe
CreatorHoldgate, Sir Martin Wyatt
Date1958
DescriptionDetail view of a dugout canoe abandoned in the forest behind Puerto Edén. Holes can be seen in the structure of the canoe which may have caused it to be unsuitable for use as a boat. These dugout tree trunks, usually from Nothofagus nitida trees, form the basis of the Kawésqar [Alacaluf] canoes, which are reinforced with additional planks to heighten their sides.
