You may want to give the Underwater Archaeology Unit, North Carolina Dept. of
Archives & History a call. Their Kure Beach telephone number is
(919)458-9042.
In years past they have helped excavate and conserve at least one canoe.

There are numerious dugouts and periaugers from the 18th and 19th c. in SC and
Ga. Rusty Fleetwood's book "Tidecraft" is a good introduction. There is a
partially completed dugout at the SC State Museum in Columbia which still has
the roots of the tree attached. If all else fails you could contact the
Underwater Division at the SC Inst, of Archaeology (803-777-8170). They might
be able to help.... Carl Steen
