description:
|
Bougainville Island, Kobuan Harbor. Typed on envelope "Note different type of canoe. I questioned the natives in the canoe concerning their craft and they said that they built the canoe in their village back up in the mountains and then carried it the long distance to the ocean and then assembled it." Scanning and access made possible by a grant from NEH.
