| De bootvorm zelf afgekeken van de lokale kanos, de kapitein in het scheepshuis is een hommage aan de schipper. William Bragge beeldt in zijn Notebook (p. 31) een soortgelijke pijp af waarvan de herkomst Rocky Mountains is, later veranderd in Sitka. Bragge vermeldt een vergelijkbaar exemplaar in het ethnografisch museum in Kopenhagen. Zijn pijp werd later door het British Museum aangekocht. Richard Quick, p 185 spreekt van Sitka in plaats van Nootka. Wie, wat, waar, Rotterdam, 1960, p. 239. Afbeelding deze Nootkapijp met bijschrift Indiaanse pijp. |
