Model of Khorokisti Boat

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Model of Khorokisti Boat. Khorokisti, a skeleton built straw carrier of Bengal is fifty haat (1 haat is 1.5 feet) in length and fifteen haat in width. Shallow draft Khorokisti used to ply from Geonkhali of Medinipur district to Sundarban to load three fifty to four hundred kahon (a unit to measure the amount of straw) of straw and unload it in different parts of Kolkata. This boat is entirely nailed and propelled by lug sail having a rectangular stern post rudder. As fully loaded Khorokisti was unable to move on its own it was towed by a small boat called Chhot. Later on Chhot was replaced by motorised launch. Bengal has unfortunately lost these unique boats.
