A flatboat is a type of shallow-draft vessel characterized by its flat bottom, designed primarily for transporting goods and people along rivers and shallow waterways. Historically, flatboats were commonly used in the 18th and 19th centuries in the United States for trade and migration, especially along the Mississippi River. They are typically made of wood and can be easily constructed, allowing for efficient transport of bulk cargo. Due to their design, flatboats are not suitable for ocean travel and are usually used for downstream navigation.
