bateau
Flat-bottomed punt
A bateau is a flat-bottomed boat with tapering ends, traditionally used on rivers and shallow waters in North America.
The design allows navigation in waters too shallow for conventional hulls.
A bateau neckline in clothing is a wide, shallow curve running from shoulder to shoulder, suggesting the boat's shape.
