A mysterious dugout canoe that washed up in Florida following Hurricane Ian is puzzling experts who are struggling to determine its origin and age, officials announced. The unique indigenous watercraft was found in Fort Myers in 2022 after the storm and is believed to have made an incredibly long journey to the Sunshine State hundreds of years ago, according to the Florida Division of Historical Resources, whose preservationists recently restored the canoe. “The canoe’s form is highly unusual in Florida and research is still ongoing to determine its origin,” a Facebook post from the organization announced Friday.
