Abstract:
The periauger was flat-bottomed, dugout workboat in the state's waterways during the 18th- and early 19th-centuries that disappeared in the first half of the 19th-century. Improved roadways, the opening of more railroad lines, and the steamboat contributed to its demise. Archaeologists have yet to find the remains of a vessel of this type in the state. In 2004, a group of marine historians successfully planned, built, and sailed a reproduction of periauger. Wilson discusses the project.

Abstract:
A replica of a periauger was built at the North Carolina Maritime Museum Watercraft Center in Beaufort in 2004. The construction took seven months and involved 30 volunteers working 8,400 hours. The log boat was the state's workboat during the 18th- and early 19th-centuries. The replica will be moored at the Newbold-White House near Hertford, where it will serve as an interpretive teaching tool. The article describes the boat's three-week journey to its home port in Hertford.

Abstract:
The periauger was the workboat in the state's waterways during the 18th- and early 19th-centuries. None of the original boats remain, and only a few sketches depict them. Armed with $100,000 in private donations and a grant from the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the Perquimans County Restoration Association, the North Carolina Maritime Museum, and the East Carolina University Marine Studies Program set about constructing a replica. Reynolds describes the building of the periauger and its three-week journey to its home port in Hertford.
