Shopteli is proud to present the Indian Girl Canoe model.

The renowned canoe designer and builder, J.H. Rushton, introduced the Indian Girl model in 1902. In his words, "The Indian Girl is strong, light, safe though speedy, graceful yet seaworthy." Display this beautifully crafted model in your home or office.

Master craftsmen meticulously handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch using historical photographs, drawings, and original plans. They are built to scale with high-grade wood such as western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. Each canoe is 100% hand-built individually using the plank-on-frame construction method, which closely resembles the building of actual ships. Every model demands many hours to complete and must undergo a rigorous quality control process before leaving the workshop.

The ribs and planking inside the canoe are visible, showcasing the natural wood finish that truly brings out the character of a wooden canoe. The model comes with a set of two wooden paddles and rests on a wooden base with a brass nameplate. It makes an ideal gift for a home or office decorator, boat enthusiast, or avid collector. The Indian Girl canoe, a design from the turn of the last century, truly lives up to its name, representing strength, lightness, safety, speed, and grace in a seaworthy vessel.
