Lenape canoes

Peter Lindeström [Wikidata] recorded a kind of double-hulled catamaran among Lenape at New Sweden capable of travelling to New England or Virginia.

[5][6] Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524 and Henry Hudson in 1609 were both met in New York Bay by an assembly of about 30 Lenape canoes.

Both dugout and birch bark canoe designs were copied by European settlers for local use.

[16] Another possibly indigenous canoe is in the American Museum of Natural History, excavated by New York Edison workers in 1906 from Manhattan's Cherry Street,[17][18] though a later report describing its shape and repair with "rose-headed" hand wrought nails may exclude this.

[20] A 1996 Lenapehoking Festival pow wow at Sandy Hook in New Jersey included a canoe race starting at Red Bank's Oyster Point.
