FORT LAUDERDALE NEWS, Monday, April 23, 62 In tJaijcce Petition It PcFFY imways 'A CIOSIB Soughl Stilt HOLLYWOOD The mystery of how a British Honduras dugout canoe got to Hollywood Beach appeared solved for a short time, but investigation showed it was two other boats. Walter B. Marshall, 5701 NW Seventh Ft. Lauderdale, told The News that Capt. John Frates had brought a similar canoe to South Florida aboard his 50-foot schooner, "Three Cousins," but that the canoe had been stolen while the schooner was moored in the Miami River.

A check with Capt Frates, who lives in Coral Gables, revealed that indeed the captain had brought such a canoe here in 1957. In fact, he brought back two of them, and later sold one. But Capt. Frates canoes were made from mahogany logs, while the one that washed up on the beach here is carved from a lighter colored, coarser grained wood than mahogany. One source said it might be poplar.

So Hollywood's mystery canoe is still that a mystery, even though F. G. Walton Smith, director of the University of Miami Marine Laboratory has identified it as coming from the British Honduras area.
