But travel by water was not always possible. The river or lake might suddenly be broken up by dangerous rapids or a passage of land. For these purposes, almost every maritime culture has practiced some form of portage - the act of transporting a vessel over land, to the next body of water. From the Scottish Highlands to the Caspian Sea, it is most associated with the Vikings, dragging their massive longships from one river to the next, upon large wooden trunks constantly moved in front of the bow.
