Pole vault in the 1890s at US Naval AcademyPoles were used as a practical means of passing over natural obstacles in marshy places such as provinces of Friesland in the Netherlands, along the North Sea, and the great level of the Fens across Cambridgeshire,Huntingdonshire,

Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Artificial draining of these marshes created a network of open drains or canals . To cross these without getting wet, while avoiding tedious roundabout journeys over bridges, a stack of jumping

poles was kept at every house and used for vaulting over the canals. Venetian gondoliers have traditionally used punting poles for moving to the shore from their boat.
