Incorrect Picture

The picture captioned "Fijian Druas" (which shows canoe with numerous paddlers) is wrong. Fijian Drua were not paddled - they were far too big and heavy. The source of the picture in question is the New York Public Library Digital Collections where it is captioned "Terreeoboo, King of Owhyhee, bringing presents to Captain Cook". Firstly, Captain Cook never landed in Fiji. The closest he came to Fiji, was a distant sighting of the island we now call 'Vatoa'. Secondly, "Owhyee" was Cook's way of spelling of "Hawaii". Thirdly, the same picture appears in the Wikipedia entry for Hawaii. Here is a photo of a large drua lying, with sails furled, off the beach at Nasova (Levuka) https://maa.cam.ac.uk/maa/wp-content/gallery/fiji-chiefs-and-governors/P.99803.VH_web.jpg (I have no idea whether this picture is available as 'commons')ENSOsurfer (talk) 15:29, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
