698 FISHERIES OF THE UNITED STATES. [54] 



Adirondack boat — Continued. 



1876. 25,681. Frederick D. Graves. This type of boat is 

 used for hunting and fishing in the Adirondack region. "For 

 the use of sportsmen, this boat is claimed to excel on account 

 of its extreme lightness and durability, one man being able by 

 means of a yoke to carry the boat to any distance without fa- 

 tigue. It is also adapted for family purposes, the patent rowlock 

 enabling the most inexperienced rower of either sex to propel 

 the boat with ease and perfect safety, and without any possible 

 chance of losing the oars." — {Graves.)
