                                                        Punt 
                                                    . A punt is a flat-bottomed boat with a square-cut bow, designed for use in shallow waterways. Punting refers to boating in a punt. The punter generally propels the punt by pushing against the river bed with a pole. A punt should not be confused with a gondola, which is propelled by an oar rather than a pole.  |
