I bought this canoe last year in a second hand store, it was quite cheap. It's roughly 56 cm/22 inches long. The people and paddles were all in a plastic bag so I'm not sure if I've placed them correctly. It's rather heavy, some sort of hardwood.

The toothy animal figurehead (and fish tail) reminds me a bit of this one, but the figures and decorations are somewhat different: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=43287&forum=5

Does anyone know where it comes from? Should the tallest figure be at the front or at the back?

Hey CP, Datsa nice find! I wonder how it manage to sail through the North Sea?
Congratulations!
