1. pirogue

   A pirogue is a small, lightweight boat that is typically used in the bayous of the southern United States, particularly Louisiana. It is traditionally flat-bottomed and propelled by paddles, although modern versions may be equipped with outboard motors. Pirogues are usually made from a single piece of wood or from fiberglass, and are designed for navigating shallow, swampy waters. The term originated from the Carib word 'piragua', which was adapted by French colonists in Louisiana.

1. Pirogue

   A pirogue is a small, flat-bottomed boat of a design associated particularly with the Cajuns of the Louisiana marsh. In West Africa they were used as traditional fishing boats. These boats are not usually intended for overnight travel but are light and small enough to be easily taken onto land. The design also allows the pirogue to move through the very shallow water of marshes and be easily turned over to drain any water that may get into the boat. A pirogue has "hard chines" which means that instead of a smooth curve from the gunwales to the keel, there is often a flat bottom which meets the plane of the side. The pirogue is usually propelled by paddles that have one blade. It can also be punted with a push pole in shallow water. Small sails can also be employed. Outboard motors are increasingly being used in many regions.
