This is a model of a vaka tou'ua (outrigger sailing canoe). Vessels of this type were sailed in eastern Pacific well into the nineteenth century. Vaka tou'ua were outrigger vessels used for fishing and travel between the scattered islands of the Marquesas. Few details were ever recorded about these vaka, making reconstructing them difficult. ... Approximate: 350mm (width), 370mm (height), 600mm (length)
