If they are the same boats that we trained on they were collapsable with wooden bottoms and canvas sides. there was a wooden gunnell I think it was called around the top. Wooden stays were inserted between the gunnell and the bottom to form the sides and rear of the boat. They were very heavy and awkward to handle.

Art, would they be the same boats featured in the 82nd's river crossing segment of the movie A BRIDGE TOO FAR?
