The canoe built by the City of Lincoln Community College pupils is clearly impressive.
Yet we need to go back to the Iron Age to find what might well be Lincoln's most famous vessel.
The longboat on display at The Collection museum in Lincoln is 7m long.
Amazingly, the dugout boat was made from a single hollowed-out tree trunk. It was discovered in 2001 during flood defence improvement work by the Environment Agency on the River Witham at Fiskerton.
And the site has proved to be rich in archaeological treasures.
In 1981, a timber causeway was unearthed there. It led across the marshy land beside the river, where many valuable objects were once deposited as religious offerings.
Antony Lee, collections officer at The Collection, said: "The longboat was discovered pegged down near the causeway, probably as an offering itself, though nothing was discovered inside it."
