Different types of boats used by Tamils historically

Different types of boats used by Tamils historically

Album created by நன்னிச் சோழன் · Updated

This study examines the design and use of ancient Tamil boats across the wider Tamilakam region, including the Chera territories of present-day Kerala and Tamil Eelam, which were integral to ancient Tamil cultural and political geography.

Although the post-1500 CE period lies beyond the classical era of Tamilakam, the maritime craft of Kerala during this time represent an evolved form of the earlier Tamil maritime traditions that had flourished under the Chera rulers. Therefore, they are included in this study to trace the continuity and transformation of Tamil maritime technology from antiquity into the early modern period.
