Artifact Road Trip - Hawaii

A model of an outrigger canoe carved from highly polished brown wood. The canoe has a tall mast and a brown and black fiber sail of Fijian design. The name of the ship is found on one side of the stern: HAWAII. The model includes two paddles and three pieces for outrigging, made of wood and attached with rope. The hull rests on a stand made from the same material as the boat. When the canoe is in place on the stand, a full inscription (partly on both pieces) reads: Presented to / President Franklin D. Roosevelt / From Troop 13 B.S.A. Honolulu.

This model was presented to President Roosevelt by Troop 13 of the Boy Scouts of America in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was delivered to the White House by scouts Richard Noda and Hiroshi Daifuku. Roosevelt included the model in the inaugural display in the Naval Exhibition Room of the Roosevelt Library.
