[[File:Boutre indien.jpg|thumb|A Patamar]]<br />
The '''Patamar''' ([[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]), ({{langx|en|Pattamar, Patimar}}, {{langx|fr|Patemar, Patmar}}),<ref>Sebastião Rodolfo Dalgado, ''Portuguese Vocables in Asiatic Languages'', AES (Reprint Lisbon 1913 edn.) 1988, {{ISBN|812060413X}}</ref> is a type of [[India|Indian]] [[Dhow]]. It was traditionally used in the western coast of the [[Indian subcontinent]] as a [[cabotage]] vessel between [[Gujarat]] and [[Ceylon]], usually for the transport of [[rice]]. Some can still be seen on the [[Malabar Coast]].<br />
<br />

==History==<br />
In 1806, ''[[Lieutenant de vaisseau]]'' [[Pierre Bouvet]] observed the indigenous ships of the Patamar type while a prisoner in Bombay. Back in [[Isle de France (Mauritius)|Isle de France]] (now [[Mauritius]]), Bouvet suggested the use of armed Patamars to General [[Charles Mathieu Isidore Decaen|Decaen]], Governor General of the French possessions in the [[East Indies]], to conduct reconnaissance and raids on the British.<ref>{{cite book |first=Jean-Michel |last=Roche |year=2005 |title=Dictionnaire des bâtiments de la flotte de guerre française de Colbert à nos jours, 1671 - 1870 |isbn=978-2-9525917-0-6 |oclc=165892922 |pages=249|publisher=Group Retozel-Maury Millau}}</ref> He was able to have {{ship|French patamar|Entreprenant|1807|2}} built in 1807 and sailed her on a [[privateering]] cruise.<br />
