Verified profile

The barchino F, 9 m long by about 1 wide, was overwhelmed by a wave of flood in the area of the excavation of the ships of Pisa at the beginning of the second century AD; the small boat was found folded on one side. Made entirely of oak wood, with a double hull, it was probably used for fishing and to move goods along the waterways that crossed the Pisan plain. Perhaps along the shallow canals only one man was enough to push the boat by pivoting with a pole on the bottom of the canal, as can still be seen today, for example, in the canals of the Fucecchio Marshes.
