Question

Describe a banana boat?

Answer 1

here ya go maybe

Answer 2

you might be thinking of the large, long, yellow inflatable that resort areas use to tow several people around behind a power boat. It's like a big cylinder and often has a rope handle for each passenger. The idea is go fast and then as they turn, centrifigal force makes the inflatable really get going fast around its arc...like a water skier does.  When you have that many people (usually 5 or 6) on one device, it's really hard to get everyone to do the same thing at once and with the force of the propulsion, inevitably everyone goes flying off into the water.  Not always but usually. Loads of fun......

Answer 3

I haven't seen one in some time but they are made of glass and are about 10 inches long and  2 inches deep.  I guess a ice cream shop might have one, but they are not very common.

Answer 4

It is a foldable boat made out of several sheets like the skin of a banana.

Answer 8

The name and description of "banana boat" has disappeared over the last 100 years... Prior to that, these boats were more prevelent in the late 1800's and very early 20's and 30's.  

At first, it was the "sternwheeled - steamboats" that hauled passengers and goods up the Mississippi and many other inland rivers around the world.  With the sternwheel in the aft, and large boarding ramps in the front, these "sternwheeled driven steamboats could actually beach their bows, lower their boarding ramps and unload passengers and cargo on to shore.  

With the invention and fast popularity of the "propeller" however... vessels then suddenly had deep "V" shaped hulls, with protruding shafts with large propellers.... and could not get close enough to land to unload either passengers or cargo.  

Thus, the "banana boat" was the quick and easy answer...  

Although most ships eventually had their own, it was the "Ports and the Port Cities" that quickly began building small fleets of "banana boats" so they could quickly unload and accomodate visiting vessels, passengers, and cargo.

In fact, it was the "Port Cities" that caused these boats to inherit their popular name... they painted these boats yellow (so they could easily identify ownership).
