This article provides a comparative physical and cultural study of a cypress log sailing canoe and the plantation culture of nineteenth-century north-eastern Florida that created it. The author makes the argument that this and other vessels of similar construction represent a typology of log boat construction that was limited to Florida’s north-east during the mid- to late nineteenth century. These vessels evolved to provide a means of commerce between the settlements along the rivers and estuaries of north-eastern Florida. Those vessels that remain provide an important historic link with early American settlers.

Dummett Freighter：来自佛罗里达州东北部的 19 世纪原木帆船

本文对柏树原木帆船和 19 世纪佛罗里达州东北部创造它的种植园文化进行了物理和文化比较研究。作者认为这艘船和其他类似结构的船代表了 19 世纪中后期仅限于佛罗里达州东北部的原木船建造类型。这些船只进化为佛罗里达州东北部河流和河口沿岸的定居点之间的商业手段。那些仍然存在的船只提供了与早期美国定居者的重要历史联系。
