It was even possible, according to the number of children who were to take part of the journey, that it turned out to be necessary to make a second one. Inestimable tool, the rowboat was used for a variety of purposes, including subsistence and transportation of equipments.We will close the canoe from the centre, which implies the thinning down of the boards at the center of the canoe.
