OUR SAKMAN STORY: Shelter Island, San Diego CA

Building the sakman was indeed a major challenge for us. Yet, it was sailing the sakman that required much more preparation and training. We are not sailors‌yet. We know so well that building a canoe does not make a sailor.

OUR SAKMAN STORY: Maritime Museum, San Diego CA

This was our first official presence in San Diego Bay. At the San Diego Maritime Museum, adjacent to the HMS Surprise, a replica of a British ship. This picture is very significant in that it could very well be the last image of the Sakman back 270 years ago, when Sir George Anson, aboard the HMS Centurion, lured our Sakman in close by deception.
