  • 80-93 a Study of Traditional Boats and Navigational History of Odisha, East
    Author version: Man Environ., vol.40(2); 2015; 80-93 A study of Traditional Boats and Navigational History of Odisha, East coast of India Sila Tripati Marine Archaeology Centre CSIR- National Institute of Oceanography Dona Paula, Goa 403 004 Email: [email protected] Abstract It is generally believed that there were seafarers before there were farmers and potters. Man must have used some kind of craft to cross the rivers, seas, bays for collection of food during prehistoric time onwards if not earlier. With regard to the earliest voyages, it is believed that these were made around 60,000 years ago when the sea level was lower and people would have used floats or rafts for the purpose. After many centuries different types of traditional boats were constructed and used for maritime trade, fishing, warfare, etc. Indian epics and regional literature mention different types of vessels and their use and the vessels used in the seas, rivers and lakes are different in their construction, shape and size. Like other littoral states of India, references to a good number of traditional boats of Odisha are found in the contemporary literature namely Pota (dug out), Nauka, Bhela, Chapa and Padhua. There are some traditional boats, for instance teppa, padhua, nauka and patia, which are still in use and built along the Odisha Coast. The present paper details construction techniques of traditional boats of Odisha, their usages, difference between the traditional boats of Odisha and those on other parts of the east coast of India and navigational technology. Keywords: Traditional boats, Navigation, Maritime trade, Odisha, East coast of India 1 Introduction The history of boatbuilding is as old as the relationship between man and the sea.
