Mtepe
The mtepe is a sewn boat. It is associated with the Swahili people (the word "boat" in the Bantu Swahili language being ''mtepe''). The mtepe's planks are held together by wooden pegs〔Mary Fitzpatrick, ''Tanzania'', (Lonely Planet: 2008), p.112.〕 and coir〔 In contrast to the rigid vessels of western technique, ''mtepe'' were designed to be flexible.〔 ==Extinction==
The cessation of the production of ''mtepe'' has been ascribed to the arrival of the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean in the 15th century, leading to boat builders adopting alternative, western shipbuilding techniques.〔Robert Marshall Adams B.A.S. ''Construction and Qualitative Analysis of a Sewn Boat of the Western Indian Ocean''. University of Minnesota, 1985.〕
