- Pembrokeshire Longboat
- River Teign Seine Boat
- Salter Skiff
- Scarborough Gig
- Shackleton Ship's Boat
- Ship's Lifeboat
- Skiff
- Sloop (8 oared)
- Teifi Skiff
- Thames Double Skiff

The "Shackleton Ship's Boat" caught my eye - its a replica of the boat the James Caird that Shackleton managed that amazing voyage across the Antarctic Sea that led to the rescue of him and all his men.
