Photo: Canoe on van

Classic family canoe on top of van. 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. The canoe shown here is wrapped in a BCL film made from Bakelite polyethylene. This item is part of the MoDiP BXL collection.
