A collection of wooden canoes. The smaller canoes are dugout canoes made from entire trees. The larger canoes are made out of boards that were bent.

Imagine using a canoe instead of a bike or a car to get around. That is how it is on the Amazon River. Whether it i™s a small canoe like one of these, a speedboat, a big riverboat, or a gigantic ocean-going vessel, boats are the primary way people and goods are transported.
