Skinboats of Greenland, Hardback Book

Skinboats of Greenland Hardback

Part of the Ships & Boats of the North series

Hardback

Description

This book documents the Innuit use of the kayak and umiak boats.

The kayak was predominantly a hunting boat, used for long voyages, usually up rivers and streams.

The umaik, by contrast, was for hunting and travelling, and was often taken whale-hunting off the north coast of Alaska.

The book is divided into two sections - one for each boat type - and is lavishly illustrated throughout.
