About the canoe
Named after a water-serpent from Passamaqoddy legends, and seen on local petroglyphs, the serpent figure on this 16-foot canoe was etched in winter bark on the suggestion of Alice Claire Tomah, great-granddaughter of Tomah Joseph, late 19th century Passamaquoddy birchbark canoe builder. The stem profiles show a late 1800s style. Inside beam 28”, depth 11 7/8”
