watercraft of 40,000 years ago would likely have been a raft. However, there are some things (like kayaks) that are on the page which are not really boats either. I have read that there was strong argument for Homo erectus having colonized areas that were cut off from mainlands by large expanses of water around 400,000 years ago. They had to have fashioned some type of watercraft. I think you'll find that anything pre-historic in the way of boats just wouldn't have survived in a form that could be studied today. Plenty of scientist have put out theories, but that's about it.

I changed "Parts" into "Parts and terminology" since it also discusses port/starboard, etc. I also converted the section from a bunch of one-line subtopics to prose. It's not good prose though, it's jumpy and disjointed. Maybe someone who knows more about boats than I do will be inspired to fill it
685:
Why does Boat Launch redirect to this page? and for that matter why is it capitalized? Shouldnt boat launch either not be a page at all or be its own page? if it is going to be a redirect to this page then there should be information on this page about boat launches. which there isnt. So I see three

I came here looking for info on the history of boats, beginning with the very earliest ones. Boats must have existed at least as far back as 40,000 years ago; they'd be necessary for the
Australian Aborgines to get to Australia from Indonesia. Perhaps we know nothing of these boats, but there must

A new section on "history of" probably wouldn't be a bad idea. There is a lot of documentation around pertaining to Greek and
Egyption boats. Pre-historic watercraft may not be right for this page as far as terminology though. This article really pertains more to the naval definition of boat, and a

I agree. A list as long as that should be on a separate page, clearly linked from this page. For the main boat article it would be perhaps be good to have a prose description of the main classes of boats (i.e., if we can group together the multitude of "types" into 3 or 4 general classes).
379:
Not only is there only one sentence in this section, but the
British navy isn't really all that important to boats in general. This is why I removed the section. If anyone else has a valid reason why that single sentence is so important to boats in general, feel free to add it back.
388:
On the one hand, an encyclopedia article about an item includes the basic definition. On the other, it may also include information about how to make or build the item. Should there be an article about Boat-Building, linked to this article, or would this be too comprehensive?
304:
be some point where our knowledge begins. That's where the
History section of this article should start. I'd do it if I had the know-how. Maybe I'll do some research myself and start it (or a separate article), but someone else can if they want.
245:
What the hell is this supposed to be? Boats do not have engines? What then do you go waterskiing behind, an airplane? This is an assertion, not a discussion. Could someone either delete it, or explain what it's supposed to mean?
337:
I agree with the need for a history section. I might make a small start to one and tag it as needing expansion. The material of boats should eventually be incorporated into history and it probably not needed as its own section

Gravy boat, as in a bowl for gravy? Yes, the term is common enough in my experience here in the
Midwest. Both my grandmothers (both American) had gravy boats, and called them that.

Also, a quick google search for "gravy boat" returns lots of sites in the United States, including lots of opportunities to buy one. Not just a UK term, not an unusual term.

I doubt anyone else will find a reliable source for this word either. Google it sometime though and you'll get a whole list of pages with the exact phrase as appeared here.
