Description
The Piscataqua gundalow began as a simple undecked barge, first appearing in the mid-1600s, poled or rowed with long sweeps (oars). From the 1700s into the 1900s gundalows evolved into fully decked flat-bottomed cargo carriers with a cabin and lateen sail that could be lowered to “shoot” under bridges.
