label: Notes
content: This outrigger float model belongs to a canoe model that was old Division of Engineering number 76310, and does not appear to have been given a catalogue number in Anthropology. The canoe model is described in detail on p. 1184 of the Collins boat Ms. under number 76310. The Collins Ms. entry notes the boat model as having been transferred to the Division of Ethnology in 1913, though this model was not located during the Anthropology inventory. Collins Ms. also notes that the float model for the boat was located in 1916 and transferred to Ethnology as well. The float model has been given number ET18054. This is presumably part of accession no. 27839, so has been listed that way.
