clear, and exact specification, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates generally to improvements in sportsmens boats and it consists, essentially, in the novel and peculiar combination of parts and details of con struction, as hereinafter first fully set forth and described and then pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings which disclose the preferred mode of practising my. invention, Figure 1, is a plan of my improved sportsmans boat. Fig. 2, is a side elevation thereof and Fig. 3 is an elevation of the boat, partly in section, separated into two sections'and nested one into the other.

pose of a tent, and Fig. 15 is an elevation of one of said brackets.
Like parts are indicated by corresponding characters and symbols in all the figures of the drawings.
Reference is now made to the drawings in which S indicates the boat as a whole comprising the stem posts 10 and 10, the single full height side strakes 11 and 11*, with their gunwales 12 and 12 and a longitudinally or laterally planked bottom B, the direction of planking as well as the type thereof (lap streak or carvel) being entirely a matter of choice, or the composite veneer structure may be used as desired. The bottom and sides are built over frames in the usual manner and calked, and then the steamed and bent ribs 13 are applied in a manner well known to those skilled in the art.' The seams are now. calked and the boat is complete as a typical sportsmans boat without the application of my invention. I now shape two bulkheads 14% and 14 of the cross section of the boat at a point about four to six inches distant from the longitudinal center of the sameancl fit thesebulkheads, while tightly clamped together, closely to the sides and bottom, and secure the same, each independently, to said sides and bottom by brass screws or copper clench nails as the case may be. The fastening of these bulkheads receives particular attention and the work is thoroughly done, and the outer edge of each bulkhead is well calked at the side and bottom seams. There is now drilled or formed two sets of coinciding holes 15 and 15 either circular or of angular cross section, through both of said bulkheads. One set of these holes as at 15, Fig. 10, in bulkhead 14, is water tightly closed by plates 16,-to preclude the entrance 2 Fig. 4, of both bulkheads,
' bow and stern thereof. If, now,
craft by abutting the two boats,
hinged hasps 20 and staples 21 or equivalent means for clamping and holding together, in close contact, the bulkheads in. a manner easily understood.
Along the lower ends of the outer faces of both the side strakes 11 and 11 in positions preferablyequally distant longitudinally of the boat, in both directions from the bulkheads lt and 14*, are fastened angle brackets 25 and 25, the former adapted for the reception and oscillation therein of an eyebolt 26, the opposite end of which is arranged to be received in a slot 27 in the perpendicular member 28, Fig. 6. At the free end of bolts 26 and eccentrically and pivotally secured thereto, are eccentric levers 29, which when in the position shown in Fig. 6 create a tension in rods26 tending to draw the brackets25 and 25 closer together.
With all thedevices placed in position on ever-y respect and yet joinable into a single bulkhead to bulkhead, engaging the-pins 17 into openings 15 and 15*; applying the hasps and staples 20 and 21, and locking the lower edges thereof by the eccentric members 29.
Within the boat (or boats) are placed removable dufile boxes 33, 34, and 35, the box 3 1 of which may be employed as a rowing seat, though in most instances the craft will be used by camping chums, each possessed of a paddle and propelling the boat from when on a duck hunt, for instance, flocks of duck alight in two bayous, it requires only several seconds time to convert the craft into two hunting boats in a manner easily understood.
The fact has been herein mentioned that the two portions of the craft are of dissimilar length. This is forthe purpose of e'nablingthe section A for instance to be nested into section A for ease of packing about, transportation and the like, the entire craft with its dunnage or dufiie weighing only about 100 pounds for a boat the total length of which is sixteen feet.
On the upper ends of the stem posts'lO and 10 are fixed flag pole sockets 40 and 41,
the outer diameter of the latter being of a size to fit the interior of the former, whereby when the two halves A and A. are set up as a tent, Fig. 5, the socket 41 will fit the socket 40, and maintain the two sections A and A in an-upstanding A-shaped position.
ceiving said dowel pins A and A, each of which is entirely independent of the other in In this position outside canvas flaps, shown in dottedlines at 50 in Fig. 5 may be employed to convert the structure into a snug A-tent, in the interior of which a hammock 51, or even two thereof may be supported by removable transverse ,rods 52, engaging brackets 53 located in proper positions, as
indicated in Figs. 5 and 2. I have V hereinbefore disclosed the preferred mode of practising my invention, but I reserve the right to make such and any changes as might occur to one skilled in the art to which this invention appertains, or to make any and all such alterations as may be permitted under the doctrine of equivalents.
Having thus fully described my invention I claim as new, and desire to secure to myself by Letters Patent of the United States 1. A sportsmans boat comprising two sections, there being bulkheads contacting each other in the adjoining ends of said sections, fixed dowel pins in one of said bulkheads and corresponding water tight apertures rein the other of said apertures, means on said bulkheads locking saidbulkheads together and other means on the sides of said sections adjacent the bottoms thereof, likewise locking said sections.
2. A sportsmans boat comprising two sections, there being bulkheads contacting each other in the adjoining ends of said sections,
fixed dowel pins in one of said bulkheads and corresponding water tight apertures receiving said dowel pins in the other of said apertures, stirrups embracing the upper edges of said bulkheads, gether, andmeans on the sidesof said sections adjacent the bottoms thereof locking said sections together.
3. A sportsmans boat comprising two sections, there being'bulkheads contactingeach other in the adjoining ends of said sections, fixed dowel pins in one of said bulkheads and corresponding water tight apertures receiving said dowel pins in the other of said bulkheads, means on said bulkheads locking said bulkheads together, and co-acting means located on said sections, on the sides thereof and adjacent the bottoms of said sections, said means comprising brackets possessed of oscillatable studs having eccentric levers on their free ends, on one of said sections, and alined members on the other of said sections, whereby upon oscillation of said levers, said sections are locked together.
4. A sportsmans boat comprising two sections, there being bulkheads contacting each other in the adjoining ends of said sections, interfitting means in said bulkheads preventing independent Y lateral movement of said bulkheads and their sections, and @0- acting and releasable eccentric means located on the exteriorfaces of the sides of said sections, locking said sections together.

5. A sportsmans boat comprising two upstanding post is adapted to engage said locked together but releasable sections, there interfitting socket. being an upstanding post at the far end of In testimony that I claim the foregoing 1 one of said sections, and an upstanding interas my invention, I have hereunto set my fitting socket at the far end of the other of hand. said sections, whereby when said sections are separated and theouter ends elevated, said OLEF M.
