Don:
I seem to remember a great many island artifacts (including boats) at the museum attached to the College of Archaeology and Anthropology at Cambridge University. Here is their description of the collection:
"Anthropology has large and unparallelled Pacific collections (over 30,000 artefacts), including 18th-century material from Cook's first and third voyages, 19th-century and 20th-century collections from Fiji-Vanuatu, New Guinea, Irian Jaya, and the Torres Strait. The Museum also has major collections from Borneo, Malaysia, India, Uganda, West Africa, Amazon, Mexico, North American Plains and Northwest Coast, and the Canadian Arctic. The Museum's Torres Strait holdings derive from the 1898 Haddon expedition, which is the basis of social anthropology as a 20th-century discipline; and there are good field collections from many eminent British anthropologists including Radcliffe-Brown, Evans Pritchard, and Bateson. There is also a unique 20th-century collection of British folklore."
The link is below. They also have a great skin boat exhibit (look in the upper left of the picture).
Regards,
Marcel
