      Yeah that’s only a 2.3 m^3 displacement. That’s only 35 people roughly. From even a cursory Google I see more people than that painted rowing boats, and that’s a pretty pitiful tonnage for transporting goods, like say, two cows.

      Methinks the even on record ships we have of the era would do just fine. Almost like the culture with huge variety and skill in watercraft because they live wholly reliant on a river had ways to transport things on that river.
