==Types==

Antique Venetian boats can generally be sub-divided into three main categories: Fishing and hunting, large cargo transport, and human transport boats..

===Fishing and Hunting===

Venice, like many coastal cities, is known for its seafood cuisine. Fishing in the [[lagoon]] requires boats that are capable of transporting large amounts of fish back to the island, as well as being able to maneuver to and from the location of the fish. Three of the most-well known fishing and hunting boats are the ''[[topo]]'', the ''[[sanpierota]]'', and the ''[[s'ciopon]]''.

===Large Cargo Transport===

The tcity of Venice relies on boats for most large [[cargo]] transportation. Cargo boats are filled with anything from fresh fruit to construction supplies – everything the city needs is transported by boat. Transporting large, heavy cargo requires a vessel strong enough to do so, while remaining maneuverable through the canals. Two of the most well-known large cargo transport boats are the ''[[caorlina]]'' and the ''[[peata]]''.

===Human Transport===

In early Venice, traditional boats were used as a means of both personal and public transportation. Whether it was ferrying Venetians across the Grand Canal or transporting royalty, Venice depended greatly on the presence of row boats to reach their destinations. The most common and well-known human transport boats are the ''[[sandolo]]'', the ''[[mascareta]]'', the ''[[puparin]]'', and the ''[[gondola]]''. Today motorized boats have replaced many of these human powered boats, and only the ''[[gondola]]'' remains as a tourist attraction.
