content: A January 12, 1906 memo in the accession file about this canoe from Otis T. Mason, Head Curator, Department of Anthropology, which refers to it as Catalogue No. 235311, indicates that it had recently been returned from the Portland Exposition (presumably the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, held in Portland, Oregon in 1905), and was being transferred to the Division of Technology. The lower part of this memo has a notation dated January 15, 1906 from George C. Maynard of the Division of Technology indicating they had received it and describing it as: "A rough, narrow dugout boat with rising ends (both ends alike), step for mast near one end, places for seats near each end, 8 feet 11 inches long, 11 1/2 inches wide, 9 inches deep. Card label "Moro Canoe, Zamboanga, P.I."". It is unclear when this canoe returned to the Department of Anthropology, though the catalogue card has a typed notation in the "Acquired" section indicating it was "Trans. [i.e. transferred] 11/15/[19]16".
