An explanation[edit]
These are all part of the 'Noah's Ark flotilla' - there were actually many ships, which divided up the entire life of the world between them. The 'official historian/publicist' was on Noah's ark (and was persuaded not to mention the rest).
Even if there was a Noah's Ark of the 'as we have been flooded for the 15th year in succession, let's construct a train-of-boats and put on all our animals, bags and baggage and float down the great river (whatever) to higher ground' type, the first thing that would be done on landing would be to make use of as much wood from the 'ark' as possible to construct a new village.
