    Abstract
    It is Believed that around 60,000 yrs. ago when the sea level was lower people employed floats or rafts for water crossing. Over the centuries, different types of traditional boats were constructed and used for maritime trade fishing, warfare, etc. Literary sources indicate use of different types of vessels in seas, rivers and lakes. As in other littoral states of India, references to a number of traditional boats of Odisha are found in contemporary literarture, namely Pota(dug out), Nauka, Bhela, Chapa and Padhua. There are some traditional boats for instance, teppa, padhua, nauka patia which are still in use and built along the Odisha Coast. The present paper details construction techniques of traditional boats of Odisha, their usages, difference between these traditional boats and those from other parts of the east coast of India, as also the navigational technology
