Caorlina |
The
caorlina
was a boat used for transport and fishing; it was about 10 metres
long with symmetrical, crescent-shaped bow and stern. Modern versions are
used only for show or for regattas for six oarsmen. This and other cargo
boats used a special type of forcola with three
morsi aligned
vertically which allowed the oarsman to maintain a comfortable position
both when the boat was empty and when it was fully loaded. |
