Archaeologists today were removing an ancient Indian dugout canoe from the bank of the Red River near Belcher in Caddo Parish. It was nearly 34 feet long and is estimated to be 800 to 1000 years old. It will be sent to Texas A&M for restoration. I sure would like to see it!
Me too
That is cool.
Slap a stick steer on it and it'll be ready to go!
Pretty cool. Next time i am in shreveport i might go check out the museum.

Cool, thanks George!
Mquast they wont let you bore any holes in it
coooool....I like that kind of stuff.....they got an old Ironclad in a museum at Vicksburg dug up from the Yazoo River near Vicksburg....located near the Vicksburg National Military Park on the river....
A few years back when I was down visiting my son in Monroe we run over to Vicksburg and saw the ironclad. Pretty cool story and the museum with all the recovered artifacts is very cool.
Those dang Archaeologist got it all wrong. That's one of PPG's Pirogues.:big grin

Here is a link with more info on the canoe. Carbon dating puts its origin between 1300 and 1370 AD.
Wow....almost as old as Bruce [emoji1]
