content: Records indicate this was a gift in 1883. It was apparently collected for and exhibited at the International Fisheries Exhibition in London of 1883. P. 87, in the Smithsonian Annual Report for the year 1884, part 2, reports that a collection of boats and boat models were presented to the museum by Surgeon-General Francis Day, F.L.S., Late inspector of Her Majesty's fisheries in India, and commissioner from India to the International Fisheries Exhibition at London, 1883. Though the donor for E160151 is listed only as "East Indian Commission to London Fisheries Exposition", this boat may also be part of the material donated by Day. See also Plate II, # 19, after p. 59 in Day, Francis. 1883. Indian fish and fishing. London: W. Clowes and Sons. (Handbook International Fisheries Exhibition, London 1883), for an illustration of what may be this object.
