World’s Oldest Fishing “Boat”

The world’s oldest fishing boat has alledgedly been found in Korea:

An unprecedented excavation was made in the southern part of the peninsula, where archaeologists unearthed a fishing boat believed to be the world’s oldest, dating back to 6,000 B.C.
A fishing boat, presumed to be 8000 years old, has been dug out of the ground at Changnyeong County in South Gyeongsang Province. Archaeologists believe the boat, made of pine trees, is the oldest of its kind ever discovered in the world. The Gimhae National Museum has been digging in this area since November last year.

Judging from the picture this “boat” looks more like a canoe. I guess world’s oldest cane doesn’t sound as good as the world’s oldest fishing boat. Still even for a canoe, 8000 years is one old canoe. I wonder if Nomad or Gar would of fished out on one of those boats back then?

Speaking of Gar it looks like Daecheon Beach was the place to be this past holiday.
