Settlers traveling on the Ohio River often used flatboats, which were raft-like barges designed for navigation in shallow waters. These boats were typically constructed from large planks of wood and could carry both cargo and passengers. Flatboats were primarily used for downstream travel, taking goods to markets, and were disassembled or abandoned upon reaching their destination, as they were not designed for return journeys. Their simple design made them well-suited for the river's conditions during the westward expansion in the early 19th century.
