Log canoe

A log canoe is a type of boat that is made by putting together big logs (tree trunks) to make it float on water. It is kind of like a puzzle where different logs of different sizes are fitted together to create the shape of the boat.

Once the logs are put together, they are then hollowed out or carved to create a space inside the boat where people can sit or stand. Log canoes can be used for fishing, transportation or just for fun.

Some important parts of a log canoe include the deck (where people stand or sit), the mast (a tall pole that holds the sail), and the rigging (ropes and wires that keep everything in place).

Log canoes are typically used in calm waters like lakes or rivers and can be propelled by paddles or sails. They have been used for a long time, and some people still enjoy making and using them today for traditional activities like racing or fishing.
