This book documents the construction of a Bering Sea style-kayak made in
the community of Hooper Bay, Alaska in October and November 1976 under
the direction of Dick Bunyan. Written as journal entries, the text
details construction from the initial splitting of the wood to the final
fitting of the cockpit lashings. Each step is illustrated with
black-and-white photographs and line drawings. The author has also
included detailed measurements of the kayak, a glossary of Yupik terms,
and descriptions and drawings of kayak accessories.
