History
Throughout Egyptian history, rowboats built from wood, called feluccas, as well as reed boats were used to navigate the Nile.[2] Venice, an Italian island city cut by many canals, likewise employs rowboats named gondolas as a daily means of transportation.[3] During the 19th century, steam riverboats were employed for travel along the River Thames in London.[4]
