Traditional wooden boats are handcrafted vessels made primarily from timber. They have been used for centuries across various cultures for fishing, transportation, and trade. The construction techniques often involve joining wooden planks using methods like dovetail joints and caulking to ensure durability and water resistance. These boats come in various designs, such as dhows in the Arabian Sea and longboats in Scandinavia. Each type reflects the local environment and cultural heritage. Despite the rise of modern materials, many artisans continue to build wooden boats, preserving traditional craftsmanship and promoting sustainable practices in boat-making.
