Description: A dugout or ahima (a traditional type of watercraft from the Republic of Ghana) made from a massive tree found in the interior of the country; roughly shaped and then brought out to the coast where it is finished. Ahimas are open sailing dugout canoes for working at sea with lines or a drift net. This particular dugout was built in 2004 and is in the collection at The Mariners' Museum.
