log raft
Lashed lumber vessel
A log raft is a simple watercraft made by lashing logs together, used historically for transporting timber downstream or ferrying people and goods across rivers.
The logs themselves provide buoyancy.
Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn famously features travel by log raft down the Mississippi.
