Keelboat
A keelboat is a riverine cargo-capable working boat, or a small- to mid-sized recreational sailing yacht. The boats in the first category have shallow structural keels, and are nearly flat-bottomed and often used leeboards if forced in open water, while modern recreational keelboats have prominent fixed fin keels, and considerable draft. The two terms may draw from cognate words with different final meaning.
Historical North American keel-boats
A Keel boat,Keelboat, or Keel-boat is a type of usually long narrow cigar-shaped riverboat, or unsheltered water barge which is sometimes also called a poleboat—that is built about a slight keel and is designed as a boat built for the navigation of rivers, shallow lakes, and sometimes canals that were commonly used in America including use in great numbers by settlers making their way west in the century-plus of wide-open western American frontiers. They were also used extensively for transporting cargo to market, and for exploration and trading expeditions, for water transport was then most effective means to move bulky or heavy cargo.

You Are 'fighter'
by: GollbettyA scarred and bug-eyed Frankenstein
He looks down from the windmill in despair
The last flying scene of a mad junky
He holds his torn-off mask and laughs...
Why are you strong?
I ask with clear eyes
Why do you laugh?
He took my hand
And said, "Follow me..."
You!! Fighter
He knows
You!! Fighter
How strong he is
You can't hold back the fighting spirit that wells up
The overflowing bravery stimulates something
Clutching the "kindness" etched in here
Your ears are ringing...
Jekyll and Hyde afraid of the dark
His black and white angel holds his breath
A mad doctor, last telepathy
He hides his sewn up face and cries...
Why does it hurt?
I thought you don't know pain?
Why do you forgive him?
"I've become human..." he said tearfully
You!! Fighter
I know
You!! Fighter
How strong you are
The fighting spirit starts to run and doesn't stop
The overflowing justice stimulates him
Clutching the "kindness" etched in here
He cries "fight"!!
Why are you strong?
I ask with clear eyes
Why do you laugh?
He took my hand
And said, "Follow me..."
You!! Fighter
He knows
You!! Fighter
How strong he is
You!! Fighter
I know
You!! Fighter
How strong you are
You can't hold back the fighting spirit that wells up
The overflowing bravery stimulates something
Clutching the "kindness" etched in here
Your ears are ringing...
He cries "fight"!!
Fighter!! Always burning here...
