Canoes of Celebes

Canoes of Celebes illustrated by D'Urville show a double outrigger form—two booms and floats attached by short curved pieces of timber. The sail is set or slung on the mast as is a triangular lateen sail, but is oblong and rectangular. Another illustration shows the two floats attached to the booms by means of two sticks, one curved, the other straight. Yet another shows curved booms connected directly with the floats. Mr. J. Hornell's researches give us a clear idea of the outrigger canoes of Indonesia.
