- The Mackinaw boat also known as a flat bottomed river cutter is typically used in shallower waters allowing for easier maneuverability and protection during inclement weather.
- The name mackinaw boat came from the city of Mackinaw in the state of Michigan along with the fact that they were able to traverse the shallow waters of this location.
- From my understanding the modern state of Michigan took over the historic city name but in fact the historic city was abandoned long ago which explains why this type of flat bottomed was around here for the modern city itself was only later built from ancient lumber yards from some previous use but why does this lead away other thought to the use in transportion to what came to be more well known mackinaw in the state but was then on the island as the flat bottomed mackinaw boats were one of the ways of water transportation along this lake then came to the north and western lands until mackinaw city itself was built many yeas after the original use.
