| Some boats were large and were probably made of leather over a wooden frame, similar to the Inuit umiak or the Irish curragh. |

|
| The umiak is a large boat with a wood or bone frame, covered with animal skins and measures about nine to 10 metres in length, two metres in width and one metre in depth. |

|
| Unlike the kayak, an umiak can carry up to 15 people. |
