pirogues
Hollowed log boats
Pirogues are narrow canoes, typically carved from a single log or made from bark.
The term is most associated with Louisiana and the Gulf Coast, where Cajun fishermen traditionally used pirogues to navigate shallow swamps and bayous: He poled his pirogue through the cypress swamp.
The word comes from French colonial usage.
