About: Bateau

An Entity of Type: ship, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

A bateau or batteau is a shallow-draft, flat-bottomed boat which was used extensively across North America, especially in the colonial period and in the fur trade. It was traditionally pointed at both ends but came in a wide variety of sizes. The name derives from the French word, bateau, which is simply the word for boat and the plural, bateaux, follows the French, an unusual construction for an English plural. In the southern United States, the term is still used to refer to flat-bottomed boats, including those elsewhere called jon boats.

  • Bat (franc. bateau) – dawniej duża, drewniana, uzbrojona łódź przeznaczona do różnych prac pomocniczych we flocie, charakteryzująca się płaskim dnem i niewielkim zanurzeniem, opatrzona żaglem. Obecnie duża łódź do przewożenia piasku. W XVI–XVII wieku baty często uzbrajano w lekkie działo dziobowe, bądź w 3–5 dział niewielkich wagomiarów, rozmieszczonych na burtach. Jednostek tak uzbrojonych używała np. flota szwedzka w działaniach przybrzeżnych na Bałtyku. W XVIII–XIX wieku baty używane też były w Ameryce Północnej przez kolonistów i handlarzy francuskich i angielskich, jak również przez strony biorące udział w wojnie o kolonie. (pl)
