content: From Card: " Model of ancient Haida canoe with mat sails as formerly used by the Haidas of Queen Charlotte Islands, B.C. The sail was reefed or furled by turning the mast around and winding up the mat. This model made by Kwulka-ass or Johnson at Massett, B.C., July 1883. It represents the famous war canoe of the ancient Haidas but is now superceded by the modern model with both sails of cotton cloth or old flour sacks. Mats are occasionally but very rarely used. Purchased at Massett, B.C. July 2, 3883. James G. Swan."
