The _Bok_ is one of the largest vessels of this group. It is met with
in Friesland, in the North-West of the province of Utrecht, below
Ankeveen and ’s Graveland, and in the North-East of South Holland
to the North of the Old Rhine. It is a long, narrow boat, 16 metres
long, only 3.35 m. beam and 1.75 m. depth. It narrows sharply toward
the bottom and has a very strong sternpost and stem. The sternpost is
straight and leaning; the stern also slopes and is slightly curved. The
bow of the boat is square which gives it a characteristic appearance.
