A large paper boat (1.5 m long), folded to test the feasibility for origami of thick double-layer corrugated board (see blog post for details).

The paper boat is one of best-known traditional origami models, probably around 500 years old (it seems to be featured in a book from 1490).

You can have a look at my Souvenir of the Sea model for a tessellation which represents the paper boat.
