Concrete boats have a long history with early experiments by Lambot in 1850 and later reinforced ships like the Gretchen, a 65 by 16 foot schooner drawing 14 feet. The Gretchen sailed salt water from Hudson Bay to Cape Hatteras, once grounding off Cape Charles but without damage. Two years ago Rome's Signori Gabelini built a 150 ton reinforced concrete barge for salt water use, reported as successful.
