Photo: Canoe on water

Classic family canoe on water. Photo caption: The 'Classic' family canoe made by Durable Metal & Wood Finishers Ltd. is made from Bakelite polyester resin reinforced with glass-fibre. The cockpit and hull are moulded separately and then bonded together to give sealed buoyancy, thereby making the canoe virtually unsinkable. This item is part of the MoDiP BXL collection.
