Coracles on the River Teifi, West Wales 1972. The two people pictured are John (forefront) and Will Davies of Cenarth – the last two legitimate Coracle fishermen in Cenarth. They are both using the single arm method of propulsion – a means of gliding downstream in a controlled way. They carried their boats (and their fish) home on their backs.An Indian coracle near the River Tungabhadra, in Hampi IndiaIndian coracles are frequently used on the Kabini River, Karnataka, IndiaA typical River Teifi coracle in Manordeifi Old ChurchThe Ku-Dru or Kowa of Tibet is very similar to a coracle—Field Museum of Natural History, ChicagoYak skin coracle in Tibet, 1938Yak skin coracle in Tibet, 2006

The coracle is a small, roundish shaped, lightweight boat of the sort traditionally used in Wales but also in parts of Western and South West England, Ireland (particularly the River Boyne), and Scotland (particularly the River Spey); the word is also used of similar boats found in India, Vietnam, Iraq and Tibet. The word "coracle" comes from the Welsh cwrwgl, cognate with Irish and Scottish Gaelic currach, and is recorded in English as early as the sixteenth century. Other historical English spellings include corougle, corracle, curricle and coricle.
