EGYPTIAN BOATS

Egyptian boat model

Egyptians pioneered the development of river boat, and some of the earliest boats ever recorded belonged to them. Paintings depicting boats appear on ancient Egyptian vases and murals around the year 6,000 BCE.

The first Egyptians boats were built with papyrus reed and were propelled by rowers using oars. As time passed, wood replaced papyrus and sails appeared. The earliest record of a ship under sail is depicted on an Egyptian pot dating back to 3200BC.

Most of Egyptian boats were used for trade. Egyptians also used their boats for exploration. During the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, explorers visited the eastern coast of Africa. Under Rameses III, Egyptians made a crossing of the Indian Ocean.
