ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Queen Mary's Shallop

So, a long time ago, there was a queen named Mary. She lived in a really big palace with lots of fancy things, but she needed a way to travel on the water. She decided to build a special boat called a shallop.

Now, this shallop was pretty cool because it was small enough to travel through narrow waterways but big enough to hold a few people. Queen Mary liked to use it to go on little boat trips and explore new places.

Even though the shallop was made a long time ago, people still take care of it and even ride in it today to remember Queen Mary and how she liked to explore on the water.
