A rowboat is the North American term for what the British term is a rowing boat. A rowing boat is a small boat propelled by the use of oars. It can be made from wood planks set in clinker (overlapping planks) or carvel (planks butted against each other and creating a smooth surface). If such small boats are made from glass fibre or other such modern plastic type materials, it is likely to be called a dinghy or pram dinghy.
