| Clark's comment, right, refers to the graceful style, and maneuverability of Chinook canoes. An example of these is on display at the Ft Clatsop Visitor Center, top Right. On February 1, 1806, Lewis remarked:"the natives...make their canoes remarkably neat light and well adapted for riding high waves.... they are built of white cedar or Arbovita generally, but sometimes of the firr...some of the large canoes are upwards of 50 feet long..."
