What are Cow Boats?
Cow Boats are traditional steel vessels that used to be used to transport cows, they stood head to butt. In the watery area around Edam, cows were transported from grass island to grass island via these cow boats. The farmer did this with a stick, just as gondoliers in Venice still do.
