Dugout Canoes

lewis and clark riverboat about

Altogether, the men carved 15 dugout canoes. At Fort Mandan they hewed 6 from cottonwood logs. West of the Rockies they used ponderosa pine logs to craft five new canoes. On the Yellowstone, Clark made two small dugouts a few miles above today’s Billings.

Sandbar Hazards

Knotty problem

lewis and clark riverboat about

The task of piloting the expedition’s boats efficiently through the Missouri’s windings and blind leads was the principal responsibility of Pierre Cruzatte who, as a riverman, earned the respect and confidence of every member of the party.

The Dugout Canoes of Lewis and Clark

lewis and clark riverboat about

A mythology of “primitive” canoes, heavy and crude, and of primitive canoeing, has gradually taken hold in Lewis and Clark scholarship, and is here revised. This essay examines their canoeing as well as their canoes.

The Salmon River

A river of no return

lewis and clark riverboat about

On the 23 August 1805, the centuries-old fantasy of a “water route across the continent for the purposes of commerce” dissolved in the roar of an unimaginable torrent–one of the most dangerous, unforgiving rivers in North America, that would later be called “The River of No Return.”

Sgt. Pryor's Yellowstone voyage

lewis and clark riverboat about

Indians stole all the horses, so Sgt. Pryor and his three privates constructed two bull boats and floated down the Yellowstone River in hopes of catching up with Clark or Lewis.

The Iron-framed Boat

"the Experiment"

lewis and clark riverboat about

The explorers assembled the iron-framed boat in the early summer of 1805 at the Upper Portage Camp, upstream of the Great Falls. There Lewis and the men put together the frame. “We called her the Experiment,” wrote Sergeant Patrick Gass.

Barge, keelboat, or just 'the boat'?

lewis and clark riverboat about

Meriwether Lewis listed a “Keeled Boat” in his pre-expedition shopping list, but after he finally got it, he and the other journalists of the Corps of Discovery simply called it “the boat” (190 times) or, less often, “the barge” (32 times).

Building the Barge

Was it Jacob Myers?

lewis and clark riverboat about

Valuable reevaluation of the evidence has accumulated about the building of the Lewis and Clark barge some two hundred years ago. Much of this evidence supports the conclusion that Jacob Myers was the principal builder.

Canoeing the Missouri

lewis and clark riverboat about

Details from the journals up through the Missouri Breaks in high water, from near the Musselshell River on 13 May 1805, to the Marias, 2 June 1805, are examined. One can only appreciate their handling of the canoes in the context of their daily trials.

The Sounding Horn

The "sounden horn"

lewis and clark riverboat about

In May of 1803, Lewis bought four “tin horns”—elsewhere called “Tin blowing Trumpets” or, by Sgt. Ordway, “Sounden [Sounding] horns.” They were likely used a signals between boats and on several occasions a horn was used to call in lost hunters.

Charbonneau’s Prayer

Accident in the white pirogue

lewis and clark riverboat about

Charbonneau’s ultimate test of faith came as a boatman, on a day when he was at the helm of the white pirogue. After a sudden gust of wind, he panicked and turned the boat sideways to the wind, turning the boat over.

Canoe-building Tools

lewis and clark riverboat about

Lewis’s list of tools includes many useful for making canoes.

Log Line, Reel, and Ship

Measuring nautical speed

lewis and clark riverboat about

This device was typically used for measuring the speed of a vessel at sea, but it could also be used to measure the velocity of a river’s current. It consisted of four parts: a log-ship, or log-chip; a specially calibrated log-line; a reel to hold the log-line; and a log-glass, or sand-glass.

Crossing the Clark Fork

Lewis's rafting adventure

lewis and clark riverboat about

With every crossing they unavoidably drifted farther downstream. Lewis recounted the climactic rafting episode of the day.

Testing Dugout Canoes

lewis and clark riverboat about

No one had tested modern replicas in demanding conditions: upstream ferries and eddy seam crossings in high water—canoeing techniques the Lewis and Clark party probably used many times a day. How were these dugouts shaped? How did they behave in river conditions?

Making Rope

Using the rope walk

lewis and clark riverboat about

In a purely physical sense, the expedition was held together by rope. Rope for handling the barge, the pirogues and the canoes. Rope to secure sails and anchors, and for towing. Rope for fastening packages, assembling tents, and controlling horses.

The Pirogues

lewis and clark riverboat about

The two pirogues served as supplementary cargo carriers accompanying the barge from the mouth of the Missouri to the Mandan villages, one of which became the command boat on the return trip from the Marias River to St. Louis.

Missouri River Hazards

The travails of river travel

lewis and clark riverboat about

“So far, we have experienced more difficulty from the navigation of the Missouri, than danger from the Savages. The difficulties which oppose themselves to the navigation of this immence river, arise from the rapidity of it’s current, it’s falling banks, sandbars, and timber”

Historical artifacts were stolen from the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center on Saturday morning, September 14th. A 200 year old pistol and beaded knife were taken from a temporary display. Duane Buchi Director of the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center shared this with MTN’s Paul Sanchez. First thing in the morning, the very first customer that we had that came in, came in and then departed very quickly, four minutes later and, had lifted a small referred to as a pocket pistol, a black powder, antique pistol and an antique knife. For over 25 years, the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center has fascinated and educated schools, families, and visitors from around the world. Duane speak from his heart, it's really hard not to take something like this personal and, you know, and again, it's it's not that they took something from us, but from our whole community. Selfish act, very disappointing. And, we just hope we can see justice served. And we might be able to see those things come back to their rightful place. Where, the 50 some thousand visitors that come through every year can continue to enjoy them. These irreplaceable artifacts are not only a part of Montana's history. They are a part of American history. Help recover these items. If you know this person or have any information on this crime, please contact the Helena Lewis and Clark National Forest Law Enforcement.
