What sort of vessel is this?
Generally referred to as a sailing outrigger canoe. From Tahiti, thus Polynesian. Used for fishing and local inter-island trade and travel.

Thank you. Yes, it's real deerskin-- parchment rawhide.

Gorgeous! Any idea what wood the real ones were made of?
Thank you. Typically would have been black spruce, but also any suitable woods that may drift up onto local beaches.

Hi Schooner! I used Edward Wiswesser's one-sheet drawing of a T-2 tanker, but it is very scant in detail. A much better source would be the HABS/HAERS at LOC: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/ca3445/ --I also used these drawings for assistance. Another superb source is the Navsource page for AOs-- I could not have done such a model without such photo-references: http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/19/19idx.htm. Hope this helps! P.S. More Auxiliaries are on the LOC page, including T-3s, etc. etc.
