A canoe is a small, narrow boat that moves forward as you paddle, like the people in the picture.
A carriage is a vehicle or a large wheeled container to carry people or things. In old times, it was pulled by horses. Today, people may use the word for a part of a train.
In modern times, horse drawn carriages are mostly used for occasional purposes, like tourism or weddings, not for daily travel.
Cis forCombine harvester
A combine harvester is a large machine that harvests grains such as wheat, oats and barley. The combine not only removes the grain heads from the stalks, but it also separates the individual grains themselves from the heads.
The combine harvester was invented in the United States in 1834, but a commercial version was invented in Australia in 1885.
A dray is a strong cart or wagon used to carry heavy loads. It is a type of vehicle made for work, not for everyday travel by people. They were pulled by big, strong horses. Sometimes teams of four or more horses were used for particularly heavy loads.
The dray in the photo would have been used for moving barrels of beer, which are very heavy.
Dis forDrone (Aircraft)
A drone is a small aircraft that flies without a pilot inside it. It is controlled remotely by a person on the ground or programmed to fly automatically.
The word drone began to be used for pilotless aircraft in the early 1900s. The name was inspired by male bees, also called drones, which do not gather food and were used as a metaphor for machines that operate without a human inside.
A ferry is a kind of boat that takes people and vehicles on short trips across water to the other side. Ferries usually run on a regular schedule. Ferrys are often used as a cheaper alternative to bridges, which can be very expensive to build. Sometimes boats that travel around a longer route on a regular service are also called ferries.
