Sharing the Art of Traditional Boats: Before recorded history, before any remembered folklore, our ancient ancestors were finding ways to float. Wood, reeds, and other buoyant cellulose material was lashed, fastened, sealed, and covered, and water travel began. No matter where you live, waterway’s most likely had a major factor for finding and settling your city, town, or village. Our water front communities everywhere still have strong presence or remnants of there traditional water craft. Each Traditional boat tells a a unique story about the culture or the people where they reside. Please share your story with us, and let us bridge our cultures with the beauty of our indigenous boats. Thank you for sharing. Corey Freedman (skinboats.org)

A Jangada is a traditional fishing boat made of wood used in the northern region of Brazil. Some claim the historical legacy of the jangada dates back to the ancient Greeks.
The jangada is typically made using 6 wooden logs rafted together in parallel: two in the center (called "meios", or central ones), 2 more on either side of those (called "mimburas", a Tupi word), and 2 on the outside, called "bordos". The 4 most central logs ("meios" and "mimburas") are united using hard wooden pegs, made of stronger wood than the logs. The "bordos" are then bound to the "mimburas" using more wooden pegs, so they can be more elevated.
