Tongan Vaka
Tongan Vaka

Mālō e lelei!

I’m looking for some help with a translation.
I’m working at a cultural museum in Japan, where we have a small exhibit detailing a few types of Tongan canoes. I assume each has been named appropriately, until we get to the ‘Hamatafua’ which has also been named ‘vaka’.
From my understanding, ‘vaka’ is a general term for canoe/ boat rather than any particular type.
Is this correct? If not, I want to fix this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
