Radeau (ship)
A Radeau was a simply constructed vessel used for many purposes, most notably as a naval battle platform.〔(The Lost Radeau Documentary Site )〕 The term 'Radeau' is derived from the French, meaning raft.〔(Adrienne's dictionary : English-French (LoC Call Number PE2837.F7 A368 1991) )〕 Because of the versatility and wide variation of the craft, as well as the ambiguity of the term, there are many vessels that could fall under the category of radeau. However, of the ships that are 'known' radeaus, there are few survivors. It is believed that the only intact radeau rests at the bottom of Lake George, called the ''Land Tortoise''. From this remaining ship, it is known that the vessel would have been about 50 feet in length, and was designed to be 7 sided to deflect enemy fire.〔(All Over Albany Archive: The Lost Radeau: a shipwreck in Lake George )〕〔(Weekly World News 18 DEC 1990 )〕 Radeau type ships were known to be common in small provincial fleets, like that at Lake George because of their simple and improvisational structure. Their traditionally smaller cousin, the Bateau follows a very similar usage in American history, serving in the provincial fleets and fur trade.〔(All Over Albany Archive: The Lost Radeau: a shipwreck in Lake George )〕
