Technical

EXAMPLE OF AN EGYPTIAN RIVER BOAT, PROBABLY USED FOR CARRYING ROYALTY OR OTHER PROMINENT PERSONS. THESE VESSELS WERE SIMILAR TO, & LIKELY EVOLVED FROM THE PAPYRUS BOATS BUILT IN THE SAME AREA, WITH THE KEELLESS HULL & VERYSHALLOW DRAUGHT. THE STERN WAS HIGHER THAN THE BOW SO THE STEERSMAN SEATED HIGH ATOP A SMALL CANOPY, COULD NAVIGATE WITHOUT CONSTRICTION. THE SHORT PLANKS OF THEIR HULLS WERE FASTENED WITH AN EARLY VERSION OF MORTISE AND TENON CONSTRUCTION AND/OR DOVETAILS. ONE OF THE EARLIEST SAIL ARRANGEMENTS DEPICTED IN ICONOGRAPHY IS THE ONE ON THIS BOAT, I.E. A SQUARE SAIL SET ON UPPER AND LOWER YARDS, ON A SINGLE MAST AMIDSHIPS.
