You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((More citations needed|date=January 2019))[[Image:USSPhiladelphiaModel.jpg|thumb|right|240px|A model of the ((USS|Philadelphia|1776)), sunk in the [[Battle of Valcour Island]]]]

A '''gundalow''' (also known in period accounts as a "gondola") is a type of flat-bottomed sailing barge once common in [[Maine]] and [[New Hampshire]] rivers, United States. It first appeared in the mid-1600s, reached maturity of design in the 1700 and 1800s, and lingered into the early 1900s before nearly vanishing as a commercial watercraft.<ref>[http://www.gundalow.org/about-us/what-is-a-gundalow/ What is a gundalow? gundalow.org]</ref>

==Characteristics==
A form of sailing [[barge]] similar to a [[scow]], gundalows characteristically employed tidal currents for propulsion, but shipped a single [[lateen sail]] brailed to a heavy [[Yard (sailing)|yard]] to harness winds. The yard was attached to a stump mast and heavily counterweighted, pivoting down while still under sail to shoot under bridges while maintaining the boat's way.

Up to ((convert|70|ft|m|2)) long, gundalows were fitted with a pivoting [[leeboard]] in lieu of a fixed keel, giving them an exceptionally shallow draft and allowing them to "take the hard" (settle into sand, ledge, or mudflats) both for loading and unloading cargoes and maintenance.

==Cargoes==
Common cargoes were bricks, timber, cattle, sheep, and other bulk raw materials downriver, and finished goods up.  Gundalows were very active delivering cordwood to brickworks to fire their kilns, picking up cargoes of finished bricks in return.((cn|date=May 2021))

==As naval vessels==
Cannon-sporting [[gunboat]] style gundalows with fixed masts and square yards were built and deployed on [[Lake Champlain]] by both British and American forces during the [[American Revolutionary War]], meeting in combat at the [[Battle of Valcour Island]].

==Today==
The [[Coast Guard]] certified ''[[Piscataqua (ship)|Piscataqua]]'', a reproduction gundalow built in 2010 on the grounds of Strawbery Banke, is maintained by a [[Portsmouth, New Hampshire]] non-profit and employed extensively in both grade school educational programs and raising environmental awareness among neighboring New Hampshire and Maine seacoast communities.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.gundalow.org/|title=Gundalow Company|website=Gundalow Company|access-date=21 April 2018))</ref>  Its precursor, the ''[[Captain Edward Adams]]'', built with traditional materials and methods in 1982, was installed as part of the Henry Law Playground in [[Dover, New Hampshire|Dover]], New Hampshire, along the [[Cocheco River]], one of the tidal headwaters of the [[Piscataqua River]] separating the states of Maine and New Hampshire.<ref>[https://www.seacoastonline.com/news/20170624/new-dover-playground-officially-opened?rssfeed=true New Dover playground officially opened, Seacoast Online]</ref>
