Bessie  is one of the last survivors of a vessel type that once performed essential transport and travel functions on South Carolina rice plantations. Built from a single hollowed out cypress log,  Bessie  fuses design and construction traditions of dugouts and plank-on-frame boats. This article describes  Bessie ’s construction, discusses propulsion systems, and examines its use in Carolina plantation culture. We propose that  Bessie  represents a ‘canoe boat’, a vernacular form largely unique to the southeastern United States and Caribbean.
