The term traditional boat refers to boats with flat bottoms and shallow draft hulls. Due to the shallow water in the canals, the ''[[squerarioli]]'' were forced to craft the boats with a flat bottom to keep them from hitting the bottom of the canal. The shallow hull allowed the boats to be dragged to shore with minimal structural damage, made it easier for people to get in and out of the boat, and made it easier for standing passengers to balance. Such features were important for passengers crossing the Grand Canal in a type of ''[[gondola]]'' called a ''[[gondola da traghetto]]'' because it was customary for passengers to remain standing.

==Types==
Traditional Venetian boats can be sub-divided into the three main categories listed below:

===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 and the ability to maneuver within the lagoon. Three of the most-well known fishing and hunting boats are the ''[[topo]]'', ''[[sanpierota]]'', and the ''[[s'ciopon]]''.

===Large Cargo Transport===

The city 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 maintaining maneuverability throughout the canals. Two of the most well-known large cargo transport boats are the ''[[caorlina]]'' and ''[[peata]]''.

===Human Transport===

In early Venice, traditional boats were used as a means of both personal and public transportation. The most common and well-known human transport boats are the ''[[sandolo]]'', ''[[mascareta]]'', ''[[puparin]]'', and ''[[gondola]]''. Today motorized boats have replaced many of these human powered boats, and only the ''[[gondola]]'' remains as a tourist attraction.

==Damage and Preservation==
