Boat building. Boat building is the design and construction of boats (instead of the larger ships) — and their on-board systems. This includes at minimum the construction of a hull, with any necessary propulsion, mechanical, navigation, safety and other service systems as the craft requires. [1]
Clinker -built (also known as lapstrake) [1][2] is a method of boat building in which the edges of hull planks overlap each other. Where necessary in larger craft, shorter planks can be joined end to end, creating a longer strake or hull plank. The technique originated in Scandinavia, and was employed by the Anglo-Saxons, Frisians, and ...

This almost certainly involved rafts, possibly equipped with some sort of sail.
