Canoë*
*Canoë:
French word for canoe which is a long, narrow watercraft with sharp ends originally used by most peoples. The canoe varies in material according to locality and in design according to the use made of it . On the northern fringe of the American forest where smaller tree trunks were found and rapid rivers and many portages favored a lighter craft, the bark canoe dominated, reaching its highest development in the birchbark canoe. At portages this light canoe could be lifted on one's shoulders and easily transported. The canoe played an important part in early American history.
The Mysterious Canoë, Banff, Alberta, Canada.
