Humpday Triviola

Boats are built with the liberal donation of the devotees, in accordance with the specifications laid down in ancient scripture on odam/ wooden boat building. It takes 650 man-days to build a single boat. The hull made out of wooden planks is 83 feet in length and six inches thick. This 150 feet long boat can hold 100 men.

Yeah, ok, obviously I am talking about boat building. But specifically what kind of boat?
