SZKUTA WISLANA
Or also known as the "Vistula Barge," these were large sailing and rowing boats. From the 13th to the 18th century, they were used to transport various cargo and grain along the Vistula to Gdansk. The grain was simply poured into large boxes attached to the deck, and the barge took advantage of the wind and the river's current.
