Believe it or not, the boat design would have been barge like. As to
world floods, yes there have been. At least once, Indian legends in
South America talk of a great flood. If you look at the coal seams in
Kentucky, Appalachia they are all at about the same elevation and there
had to be huge amounts of lumber piled up to make the size seams they
find. Think of a tidal wave washing over the earth. Maybe Noah saw the
big asteroid coming to clean up the earth?

As you probably know, much of N. America was once an inland sea/swamp,
resulting in those coal deposits.

There has been some speculation that the Black Sea deluge theory was the
cause of Noah's flood.
