A small, flat-bottomed fishing boat or rowboat, typically used for coastal fishing and cargo transport.
Origin uncertain, possibly from Irish 'garbhóg' or a proper name. Used primarily in Irish, Scottish, and New England maritime communities since the 1800s.
Garveys are built so shallow and sturdy that fishermen in harsh Atlantic waters trusted them with their lives—the design is so clever it's barely changed in 200 years.
