Backwash can pin you and the boat indefinitely.
You can craft boats to sail in the water, or minecarts, to ride along rails.
Traditionally it was vessels under 200 feet long. Vietnam Riverine Boats (Brown Water Navy) were all considered boats; Swift Boats (PCF-Patrol Craft Fast), PBR's (Patrol Boat River), Monitors (River Battleships), and Alpha Boats (ASPB-Assault Support Patrol Boats). Blue Water Naval vessels were Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, etc.
Every type of ship you could imagine, from small Thames lighters fitted as water carriers, tug boats, small landing craft, rocket firing landing craft, converted liners as troop carriers and every type of warship there was. There were even battleships that hadn't fired a shot since WW1.

It's a small construction by the side of a river, lake or loch to allow small boats to be moved from land into the water, or to allow easy access to these craft without getting your feet wet. In the US, the term is applied to breakwaters or barriers that project into a body of water for the purpose of establishing a harbor or entrance to a waterway.
Low Head dams often have tops that are below the water surface. But aside from their lack of visibility, they can create a fatal trap for small boats. Water going over a low-head dam creates a strong recirculating current (a backroller) and a turbulent upflow (a boil). These currents can push boats back against the downstream side of the dam, where the boats may capsize and their occupants may be pulled under.

Whatever was available in their habitat, whatever float. although there is not much knowledge of them to be 'water people' as there is no evidence they possessed the craft of making boats.

Small boats tend to be more susceptible to capsizing and swaying in rough waters due to their size and lightweight design. They can also be easily affected by wind and currents, making navigation more challenging. Additionally, small boats often require careful handling and awareness of their stability to ensure safety on the water.
