Description
Name: Pirogue
Type: Miniature Model
A Pirogue boat model is any of various small boats, particularly dugouts and native canoes. The term ‘pirogue’ does not refer to a specific kind of boat.
However, it is a generic term for small native boats in regions once colonized by France. In French West Africa, the term refers to handcrafted banana-shaped boats used by traditional fishermen.
The Pirogue boat model is widely distributed and may be found as a fishing vessel in the Gulf of Mexico; as a shallow-draft boat that is used to maneuver through the Louisiana swamplands; and as a boat used by the Indians of Guyana. You will see pirogues in Mauritius when you are by the sea.
A Pirogue is a small traditional boat and it is used for fishing in Mauritius. World-famous Mauritian ship models, meticulously handcrafted by local artists, make a lovely present or souvenir to take home.
This one depicts a little traditional pirogue with a blue hull and a white sail. Pirogues are still used for fishing and other nautical activities. Racing pirogues are lighter and slimmer than typical fishing pirogues.
La Flote Ltée is the famous handcraft ship model manufacturer and wholesaler in Mauritius and distributed already over more that 50 countries since 1992.
Pirogue boat model can be made upon request also at bobato ship models.
