Abstract
RESUMO Neste artigo, pretende-se elaborar a trajetória expositiva do beque de proa de uma canoa pertencente ao acervo do Museu Paulista desde seu ingresso na instituição, em 1924, até os dias atuais, refletindo sobre a construção da memória das monções no museu ao longo do tempo. Também serão abordadas as atividades interdisciplinares realizadas entre o Museu Paulista, o Laboratório de Anatomia Vegetal do Instituto de Biociências - USP e o Departamento de Engenharia Naval da Escola Politécnica - USP, a fim de melhor compreender a constituição do canoão, agora musealizado, por meio dos resultados obtidos a partir da pesquisa histórica, dos trabalhos de conservação, dos processos de identificação anatômica da madeira e de fotogrametria de curto alcance.
Highlights
In 1917, in the first year of his management of Museu Paulista, Afonso d’Escragnolle Taunay, when thanking an anchor offered to the institution by the city of Porto Feliz, asked Eugênio Motta – mayor of that city – to donate a 15-meter canoe that was on the banks of the Tietê river, near the port of departure of the old monsoon expeditions
The mayor denied the request, alleging difficulties in transporting the piece to the museum due to its size and weight, the lack of a railroad and high transportation cost.8. Ten days after this missive, on December 27, 1917, Eugênio Motta would send another letter to Taunay, informing him of the existence of a barge owned by a farmer of the region who transformed it into a trough for garapa, with the difference that this piece was devoid of stern and bow – which had been trimmed

Six years after this correspondence exchange, Taunay would again resort to the same Porto Feliz mayor, inquiring him about the canoe hull transformed into a trough and pleading a donation from the owner
