Ulster Museum Kayak

I found this kayak by happy chance while visiting the Ulster Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I was able to snap a few pictures just as the museum was about to close. This kayak has not been surveyed, as far as I am aware.

The kayak and paddle are from Eastern Labrador, collected by J. MacLaine, 1906. Why and how it was collected and brought back to Belfast is not known by me.

I wish I had more time there to explore, but I only happened on this section of the museum by chance.
