Etymology

The word 'coracle' comes from the Welsh 'corwgl', which refers to a small, rounded boat. The construction of coracles dates back to ancient times, with evidence of their use in various cultures including the Celts, Native Americans, and people in India. Traditionally, coracles were made using wooden frames covered with animal hides, which made them lightweight and buoyant. Over time, the design of coracles evolved, and they began to be constructed using materials like canvas and plastic in modern times. The practicality and flexibility of coracles allow them to be used in both freshwater and saltwater environments, making them versatile for different water navigation needs.
