Framed Rowboat Paintings
The early boats were not propelled by engines but relied exclusively on human strength and padding was required for propelling the boat. The framed rowboat prints available at FramedArt.com focus on the vessels that use a mechanical connection for propelling the boat, instead of the handheld paddles.
In modern times, these boats are used for competitions and participants need to adhere to strict rules, which clearly state what equipment can be used and what rowing techniques.
The first boats were constructed thousands of years ago, but the differences between them and the modern counterparts are staggering. Framed rowboat prints feature both of them and emphasize the two different rowing systems, the forward facing and rearward facing versions. Both are still in use and many vessels are equipped with mechanical systems that allow the two types of rowing to be used. This makes the boats more versatile and suitable to operate in both crowded areas and open spaces.
Rearward facing systems were used first in Europa and the first rowboats were actually relying on this way of propelling the boat. Boats using the system move forward faster and they were even used for military purposes, such as the galleys which were easier to maneuver as compared to sailing ships. Framed rowboat prints also feature vessels using the forward facing system, which is more suitable for narrow waterways or navigating the waters of busy harbors. In Venice, but also the Far East, this system is immensely popular and regularly used on small boats.
