Coracles were small, usually round boats made of a framework of split and interwoven willow rods or other bendable rods like ash, tied together with bark, then covered in tarred animal skin to keep it waterproof. These were used for centuries mostly in Wales but also parts of western Ireland. Fishermen in two coracles would stretch a net between them to catch fish. Coracle craftsmen still make them today.

But wait, that is impossible! There haven’t been any shipyards found!

The Viking long boats were inspired by giraffe skins.

They were probably oared by men in Necro Pants
