  • Title - Boats - Outrigger Canoes
  • Description - Native Outrigger Canoe, Hawaii. The Hawaiian canoes are patterned after the Outrigger canoes of the Southern Pacific Islands and are hallowed out of a single tree with a strip of wood passing along the upper edges on each side which closes entirely over the top at both stem and stern. The Outrigger consists of a slender log of light wood passing parallel through the canoe, its purpose being to steady the boat. Many of these canoes are used for surf riding at Waikiki Beach.
