The ferries properly so-called included the _Pontoons_, among which may
be mentioned: the _Gierpont_, the _Kabelveerpont_, the _Jaagpont_ (for
ferrying horses), the _Halve Pont_ (pontoon using a sail); the _Pijper_
(small pontoon) and the _Overhaalpontje_ (skiff).
Other kinds of boats were used as ferries, such as the Veerhengsten,
which belonged to the family of the “Hoogaarsen” (see fishing boats),
the hoys, the “Schuiten” and the “Poonen”, all of them types of vessels
already met in what precedes.
