That is a relatively uncommon configuration, but they do exist. Biloxi Luggers like yours were also referred to as "Chandeleur Boats" as I am sure you are aware of. My best guess is that the two keels were for both intentional and unintentional landings on the Chandeleur Islands. BTW, how is your restoration coming along?

BTW, where are u keeping your boat at?
