A little backstory for the name of the tournament and a little history about Syracuse, Indiana.

21 ft dugout canoe made from a tulip tree in Syracuse Indiana
21-foot dugout canoe made from a tulip tree that was discovered in Syracuse, Indiana in 1959Discovery: Dick Jamison discovered the canoe while fishing in Syracuse Lake. He initially mistook it for a water-soaked log. Description: After removing moss and debris, the blackened dugout canoe was revealed. It was made of a tulip tree and measured 21 feet long and 3-4 feet wide. Condition: The sides of the canoe were mostly rotted away due to age and exposure.
Possible Origins: It is thought the canoe may have belonged to Miami Indians, fur traders, or early settlers before the lake's water level was raised by a dam in 1834. Archival Record: The canoe is part of the Syracuse-Wawasee Digital Archives collection  Museum Information: The Syracuse-Wawasee Historical Museum, where local history is showcased, continues to research the boat's history.  It is important to note that the provided search results mention several other historical dugout canoe discoveries and archaeological projects in Indiana and surrounding areas, including a 24-foot tulip poplar canoe at Conner Prairie in Noblesville, thought to be used by fur traders. There is also a mention of a 32-foot Southeastern Indian dugout canoe made from yellow poplar at the Tennessee State Museum. These examples illustrate the common practice of using large trees, including tulip poplar, for dugout canoes throughout history in various locations.
