Is this where the canoe was taken when it was found after the hurricane?

We do not have the canoe in our Museum at this time. However, our hope is to have it on display after the state has completed all of the research and testing on the canoe.

Diane, after Hurricane Irma, an awesome and thoughtful gentleman found the wooden canoe that had been buried in the mud for many many years and was then just barely up on land tenuously. He jumped into action and saved the canoe which went up to some big city for conservation. Here four years after your question, don't think the canoe has made its way back to our wonderful local Museum yet. Hopefully we can get an update from the museum now? Side note: as a child, circa 1970, I used to use a metal probe to hunt antique bottles in that area where the City Point Trading Post used to be and it was built out over the water. Remember that often of near the shoreline I would encounter something wood with my quarter inch metal probe and curiously always wondered if it might be a Native American canoe but never had the wherewithal to dig it up whilst still buried. So I'm imagining that the archaeologists scientists and inspectors are wondering regards the indentations. Egads, antique me now!
