The list appeared on Wikipedia, so there started my inspiration for this kind of posts. The pictures are mostly from there or from other sources which will be mentioned if necessary. I don’t promise the posts will be highly original, but I’m going to add my expertise whenever I’ll found necessary. These posts will be included in a new category, “Encyclopedia”.

I am sure that the list is not exhaustive. I have already seen one type or sub-type, missing. For sample if one can find regionally specific boats in here, like “Sampan” or “Tjotter”, then “Gulet”, which is Turkish even as spelling, is definitively missing. Some other terms, I have eliminated myself, because they were just for filling. The “merchant banana boat” is actually a cargo ship, nothing special with it, you won’t call a dinghy, a “merchant banana boat” just because it is used to transport a few banana stems from a river bank to the other.
The posts will feature the terms aleatory, not necessary in the same order as they were presented here. These post will be rather short, but informative.
I just want you to remember that we have a new Pinterest account, specially for this site. I’m sure you’ll find useful in time. Now it is just at the beginning, and the growth will be natural. The real communication will start when all the already published posts will be covered.
