Canoe carving on Nanumea
Paopao outrigger canoes are still constructed today such as this one being carved on Nanumea. During pre-European-contact times there was frequent canoe voyaging between the islands as Polynesian navigation skills are recognised to have allowed deliberate journeys on double-hull sailing canoes or outrigger canoes.
