Project gives insight into courage and skill of Scilly's 'gig' rowers
The Guardian
|May 03, 2025
Swift, streamlined boats, agile and tough, for centuries helped save lives and move people and goods around the treacherous waters of the Isles of Scilly.
An archaeological project has highlighted just how crucial "pilot gigs" were for islanders by mapping 90 sites of sheds that housed the boats, the earliest believed to date back to the 17th century.
Built for strength and propelled by six oars, the gigs carried pilots to ships navigating around the archipelago, which lies 30 miles off Cornwall.
