Wanted For

Can any yachtsman or mariner loan exhibits of original Poly nesian craft or exhibits of current-day Pacific Islands sea craft for show during the water sports sections of the 20th Olympic Games, to be held in Kiel, Germany, in 1972?

Games organisers are already looking for these exhibits as they hope to display an extensive array on the history of water sports, reaching back to the Vikings and to the early Poly nesians. Aims are to show similarities between primitive and present-day boatbuilding.

They’d welcome anything from carved artefacts (such as bailers) to maps, charts or Islands trophies.

Anyone who thinks he can help should write to Mr. J. S.
