The Batteau Project

Batteau

 
 
 1/2"=1' (1:/24) Scale
 

 

The batteau was a large, flat-bottomed skiff, sharp at both ends, over thirty feet long and six to eight feet wide in the middle, and capable of carrying about five tons. It was provided with masts and lug sails, with about fifteen feet hoist, an anchor, four oars and six setting-poles shod with iron and a crew of four men and a pilot. Many types of batteau were deployed during the War of 1812, with the largest capable of mounting small cannon or swivel guns. Large batteau with forty barrels of flour on board it drew only twenty inches of water. This was a very safe and adaptable vessel.
