content: See Collins boat MS. pp. 773-774. The kayak and kayak equipment are identified there and on catalogue card as collected in 1892; source of this date unknown. No accession number or collector/donor name is listed. Speculatively, the 1892 date may indicate it was part of the material collected for the World's Columbian Exposition/Chicago World's Fair of 1893 by the U.S. Fish Commission, though it does not appear on the lists in that accession record.
