“The earliest boats are thought to have been logboats (a boat made from a hollowed tree trunk), and the oldest recovered boat in the world is the Pesse canoe, (a logboat) from a Pinus sylvestris, constructed somewhere between 8200 and 7600 BC.” (Holmes, G. C. (2016). Ancient and Modern Ships - Part I. Wooden Sailing-Ships. United States: Read Books Limited.)
