Quick Facts

Fit for a warrior! Druas were double-hulled Fijian canoes traditionally used by warriors. These sailing crafts were not dugouts, but rather were built of planks. They could be 30 metres long and carry over 200 people. See a model of another type of Fijian canoe, a Camakau, in the Objects section, or visit MOA in person!
