Description: We have tried to be consistent in the spelling of placenames, using those which appear most frequently in English, or those used by accepted authorities, although these may not have been the first choices of individual authors in this book. Both English and metric measurements are given, which has led to minor problems. Archaeologists normally use the metric system in recording their sites, whether watercraft or not, but many of these watercraft were built to the English standard. We have, therefore, for instance, given the metric measurements first in Chapter One, which concerns pre-Columbian watercraft not built by people using feet and
inches, whereas in Chapter Ten, discussing nineteenth-century steamboats, English measurements are listed first. Approximate figures present a problem: a vessel 'around 45 ft long' becomes an overly precise 'around 13.7 m' long when converted literally, and the measurement cited first should be taken to be the more correct one.
