Book Description
Many of us enjoy quiet mornings canoeing on the lake, an afternoon of sailing on the ocean, or a weekend of adventurous kayaking through river rapids. But how do boats float? And what is the best way of powering them? Young readers will enjoy learning about the surprising variety of small boats, their basic structure, and their uses throughout history. Small boats are used for conveyance, security, rescue, and, of course, recreationally. This fully illustrated, engaging resource will appeal to anyone who loves being out on the water.
