They had:

1 Keeled boat light strong at least 60 feet in length her burthen equal to 8 tons

1 Large Wooden canoe

They also had horses, walked, climbed, and used pirogues. "Pirogues" is a French word meaning that they tied smaller canoes together to make a kind of raft. Their horses were certainly used as pack animals in the rough country, and for riding when they crossed the flat plains.

They used Four different kinds. They started out with one Keelboat (their keelboat was fifty-five in length and eight feet wide and was able to carry twelve tons of supplies), two flat-bottom boats called pirogues, and two types of canoes. One type of canoe they used was made from a large tree trunk. The second was made by stretching an animal hide (buffalo) over a wooded frame. Also, on April 7,1905, Lewis and Clark sent the keelboat load with specimens including a live prairie dog and a crew of twelve back to St. Louis and than on to Jefferson in D.C.
