I organized a canoe expedition down the Athabasca River. The river is part of a lush watershed that flows through the heart of tar-sands mining
Six years ago I was lucky to get a mention of our canoe expedition through the tar-sands region in the local Canadian papers.
and a journey by foot and canoe would take weeks. Nevertheless Elkins said he worries about the publicity spawned by the Ciudad Blanca legend too.
#Sophisticated 600-Year-Old Canoe Discovered in New zealand Sophisticated oceangoing canoes and favorable winds may have helped early human settlers colonize New zealand a pair of new studies shows.
when a 600-year-old canoe with a turtle carved on its hull emerged from a sand dune after a harsh storm.
The researchers who examined the shipwreck say the vessel is more impressive than any other canoe previously linked to this period in New zealand.
Canoe on the coast The canoe was revealed near the sheltered Anaweka estuary on the northwestern end of New zealand's South Island.
and together these vessels formed a double canoe (though the researchers haven't ruled out the possibility that the find could have been a single canoe with an outrigger).
If the ship was a double canoe it probably had a deck a shelter and a sail that was pitched forward much like the historic canoes of the Society islands (a group that includes Bora Bora and Tahiti) and the Southern Cook islands.
These island chains have been identified as likely Polynesian homelands of the Maori the group of indigenous people who settled New zealand.
The boat was sophisticated surprisingly more than the canoes described centuries later by the first Europeans to arrive in New zealand Johns told Live Science.
At the time of European contact the Maori were using dugout canoes which were hollowed out from single big trees with no internal frames.
In the smaller islands of Polynesia boat builders didn't have access to trees that were big enough to make an entire canoe;
The newly described canoe seems to represent a mix of that ancestral plank technology and an adaptation to the new resources on New zealand since the boat has hollowed some big-out portions
We show that the sailing canoe in its basic form would have been able to make these voyages purely through downwind sailing.
Goodwin added that a downwind journey from an island in central East Polynesia might take about two weeks in a sailing canoe.
