Small sloop at a marina. "A log canoe as restored by Stephens Marine Railway at Lottsburg, Va. After the hull was dried out on the railway, all rot was gouged out and the holes filed, either with marine compounds or with Portland cement, depending on the size. She was then covered with fiberglass, given a steel centerboard and adorned with a cabin and steering wheel, the latter a departure from the traditional tiller. A small auxilary engine was installed." [ref NF 06/1968 P.7C]
