Prijon Kayaks
The Russian, Grigori Ivanovitch Langsdorff, reported from his trip around the world (1803–07) on the ease and elegance of paddling Eskimo kayaks/canoes. The Scot, John MacGregor, came back from his North American
trip full of excitement about the kayak/canoe and in 1860 started
building six boats that closely resembled Eskimo canoes/kayaks, weighing
app. 80 lb (36 kg). In 1866 he published the book A Thousand Miles in the Rob Roy Canoe. The timing was right and the book became a resounding success. With the Industrial Revolution leading to more leisure time in the middle of the 19th century, people in Europe
started to enjoy floating down rivers in all kinds of contraptions
taking in nature previously only available to a selected few.
