The Kadakkarapally Boat: An Ancient Sailing Barge in India

Institute of Nautical Archaeology ^ | 2003 | Ralph K. Pedersen

Two maststeps, one amidships, and one double-socketed in the bow, indicate that this was a sailing barge. Its hull is divided into sections by bulkheads that either served to separate cargo or to stablize it. The bulkheads were not watertight.

I'm getting set for a big run on ancient wreck topics next week. This week I'm trying to diversify the digest a little. This hull is only 1000 years old, making it medieval, not ancient.
