Answer:

wood or reeds

Explanation:

Traditional or primitive rafts were constructed of wood or reeds. Modern rafts may also use pontoons, drums, or extruded polystyrene blocks. Inflatable rafts up to the 20th century used flotation chambers made of goat- or buffalo-skins, but most now use durable, multi-layered rubberized fabrics.

  • Wood or reeds were used to build traditional or rudimentary rafts. Pontoons, drums, and extruded polystyrene blocks are all common components of modern rafts.
  • Flotation chambers constructed of goat or buffalo skins were used in inflatable rafts until the twentieth century, although most currently employ multi-layered rubberized materials that are more durable.
  • The raft is the most basic sort of watercraft, consisting of a floating platform built of logs or planks connected together.
  • Originally, they were formed of reed bundles.
  • The majority of rafts are built to float with the current, although they may be equipped with oars, sails, or both and sailed on the ocean for large distances, as Norwegian scientist Thor Heyerdahl proved impressively in 1947.
