This document discusses the ancient craft of wooden boat building in Greece. It traces the tradition back to Homeric times and discusses how some boat types can trace their lineage back thousands of years. It provides an overview of the major types of traditional Greek wooden boats, describing their characteristics and uses. It also notes that this important part of Greek maritime cultural heritage is at risk of being lost as fewer young people are learning the craft and many traditional boats have been destroyed. Efforts are underway to preserve and promote Greece's wooden boat building tradition through exhibitions, races and other events.

Cyprus Wrecks and Artificial Reef Program Norwegian Air In-flight magazine Andy Varoshiotis
The document discusses Cyprus's program to deliberately sink old ships off its coasts to create artificial reefs and boost the marine environment, tourism, and fishing. The program involves cleaning ships of hazardous materials, sinking them in shallow waters, and monitoring the growth of new ecosystems around the wrecks. Placing the ships underwater has attracted many fish and other marine life, as well as thousands of divers. Officials believe the artificial reefs will replenish fish stocks and attract more tourists as a diving destination, providing economic benefits. Other locations like Malta, Florida, and Portugal have implemented similar projects with success in enhancing marine life.
While sailing culture developed over thousands of years in the South Pacific, it is now mostly restricted to recreational use by urban elites. In Fiji, the drua was a highly advanced sailing vessel up to 118 feet long capable of carrying 150 warriors at speeds over 20 knots. Both drua and smaller camakau required great skill to build and sail. No full size drua have been built for over a century, though some restoration efforts have helped retain knowledge of their construction. Sailing declined with European boats and motors but small boat recreation remains popular.
The village of Solodamu in Fiji is seeking sustainable income options that don't compromise traditional values. They discussed creating a village-based sailing vessel for transporting goods and people. Five options were considered: 1) purchasing an existing vessel, 2) building a plywood catamaran, 3) building a traditional planked catamaran, 4) commissioning a custom-built vessel, or 5) building a traditional drua sailing canoe. While no option was chosen, the village favored a drua for its cultural significance, performance, and tourism potential. Funding, regulations, ownership, and maintenance require further discussion.
Thorkel was a Viking from Scandinavia who sailed in longships to explore other lands. The Vikings built strong, lightweight longships that were well-suited for sailing and combat. The longships had carved dragon or animal heads on the prow and stern to intimidate enemies, and were rowed and could be beached easily for battle. The keel and clinker-built hull design made the ships fast and stable in the water.
THE GREAT INVENTIONS IN WATERWAY TRANSPORT THROUGHOUT HISTORY AND THEIR FUTUR...Fernando Alcoforado
This article aims to present the great inventions that occurred with the means of river, lake and maritime transport, aiming at the transport of people and cargo throughout history and its future evolution. The use of boats constituted one of the first means of locomotion invented by man and was crucial for the development of humanity. Since ancient times, boats have been used as a means of transport. In the beginning, canoes were used for fishing activities and short-distance transport. Canoes are considered the first vessels used to transport people and cargo. Taking advantage of the current of the water or using oars, the navigators moved the canoes, covering small distances. Over time, sailing boats were invented, which moved driven by the force of the wind. The development of ships and the discovery of new navigation techniques made it possible for human beings to cross rivers, seas and oceans, overcoming long distances in the transport of passengers and cargo, in addition to using them as weapons of war. From wooden canoes to large vessels such as modern ocean liners, there has been a lot of progress. In the future, vessels will benefit from increasingly sophisticated technologies. Smart ships will become an integral part of the reality that surrounds us.
Maritime history is the study of human activity at sea and how ships have evolved over time. Early ships were simple rafts, dugout canoes, or boats made of lashed-together sticks and animal hides. Over centuries, ships developed new technologies like sails, rudders, and multiple levels for rowers that allowed them to carry more cargo and travel further. Major innovations included the Phoenicians' development of galleys and triremes powered by both sails and oars, and the later introduction of fore-and-aft rigged sails that made ships more maneuverable. Today's large cargo and tanker ships are a far cry from ancient vessels and continue to incorporate new technologies.

Building ships is one of mankind’s oldest technologies. Indeed, ancient Greek, Egyptian and Phoenician civilisations made use of ships and boats to trade and move about. As such, it’s safe to say that shipbuilding existed for thousands of years, as people have used boats to explore, fight, fish and travel. Over time, shipbuilding technology has evolved to make water travel faster and easier.
The document provides information about ships and maritime transportation. It begins by defining ships as means of transport that travel over water, transforming obstacles into communication routes. It then discusses the evolution of ships from simple rafts to more complex designs with sails and engines. The document concludes by describing specialized modern ship types like container ships and tankers.
Fishing is an ancient practice dating back over 40,000 years involving catching fish from the wild using techniques like netting, angling, and trapping. According to FAO statistics, 38 million people are employed in fisheries and aquaculture, providing food and jobs for over 500 million people. Technological advances like improved boats, navigation devices, synthetic net materials, and fish processing equipment have increased fishing efficiency and catch sizes over time.
The document traces the development of boats over thousands of years, from early rafts made of tied logs to modern hydrofoils. It describes how early boats evolved from hollowed out log canoes to reed boats used by the Egyptians. Viking longboats introduced sailing and oar-powered warships. Later developments included Chinese junks with compartments and rudders, clipper ships, steamships powered without sails or oars, ocean liners like the Titanic, and finally modern hydrofoils that ride above the water for minimal resistance and high speed. The document provides a brief history of boat technology from primitive rafts to advanced modern vessels.
This document discusses the history of maritime transportation from ancient dugout canoes dating back 8,000 years to modern cruise ships. It covers the evolution of boats from early dugouts and reed boats used in ancient Egypt and other cultures to sailing ships in the Middle Ages powered by sails or oars. The development of steam power allowed for ships like the Savannah in 1819 to cross the Atlantic, while Brunel's Great Western in 1843 was the first iron steamer to do so. Famous ships like the Titanic and modern cruise ships like Allure of the Seas represent peak achievements in ship design and size.
The document provides an overview of the small Greek islands of Oinousses located near Chios in the northern Aegean Sea. It describes how the rocky, poor land led inhabitants to turn to seafaring and shipping in the 19th century, establishing the islands' reputation as mariners. Recent infrastructure developments on Oinousses are also outlined, showing improvements to facilities like water, sewage, ports, roads, and cultural/educational institutions.
This document summarizes the evolution of ship building from ancient times to modern day. It describes early ships from 3000-4000 BC built by Egyptians from reeds with no internal framing. During 1500 BC, Greek ships became smaller and faster with lean designs that could hold up to 50 oarsmen. Later, Polynesian ships were discovered with outriggers that could stabilize large vessels up to 180 feet long carrying 1000 people. Viking ships from 1000-1200 AD were long and narrow, up to 80 feet long used for travel, trading and colonization. Starting in the 15th century, European and Spanish ships were built for long distance travel with cannons and much larger hulls than Vikings. Modern ships can carry
This document summarizes the evolution of ship building from ancient times to modern day. It describes early ships built by Egyptians and Greeks from reeds and with no internal framing. Viking ships from 1000-1200 AD were longships up to 80 feet long used for raiding and trading. Sailing ships from the 15th-18th centuries included carracks and galleons built by Europeans and Spain with cannons. Modern passenger ships can be over 1000 feet long, hold thousands of people, and burn 300 tons of fuel per day. A future concept is a residential ocean community on a ship costing $1.6 billion to build that would house 5,400 passengers.
Evolution of Water Transport (From Ancient History to the Megaships of today)Jerome Jaime
From Ancient History to the Megaships of today documents the evolution of ships from early dugout canoes to modern megaships. Early boats included dugout canoes used by stone age populations for travel and fishing. The Ancient Egyptians had knowledge of sail construction. In medieval times, dhows were used in the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Persian Gulf regions. Vikings developed longboats for trade, commerce, exploration, and warfare. Chinese junks carried over 200 people by 200 AD. Modern ships included the SS Savannah, the first steamship to cross the Atlantic in 1818, and the RMS Titanic, the largest ship afloat when it sank in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg.
The boatyard was located in the historic center of Venice on the site of the old airport. It consisted of a hut with roof trusses supported by ten brick pillars. Related craft activities like ship caulking likely took place nearby. Boatyards were typical sites for Venice's rowing boats, and the name is derived from the Venetian dialect word for team or workshop. Originally, boatyards constructed, maintained, and stored all sizes of boats, both rowing and sailing, but specialized in smaller private vessels after larger shipbuilding centralized in the Arsenal. Boatyards had a slope toward the water for launching boats and a covered work area known as a tense for protection from the weather. Over time, activities at boatyards

Canadian Society for Asian Arts Sunken Treasures Exhibition Cataloguecsasianarts
This document provides information about an exhibition titled "Sunken Treasures – Asian Ceramics" held from September 16 to November 8, 2018 at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver, BC. It discusses the history and mission of the Canadian Society for Asian Arts, which presented the exhibition, and provides background information on the garden venue. The exhibition featured ceramics recovered from historic shipwrecks in Southeast Asia dating from the 14th to 19th centuries that illustrate the region's trade history. Details are provided on specific shipwrecks and the cultural insights gained from the ceramics they carried.
The document discusses the history of sunken ships throughout the world's oceans. It estimates that there are around 65,000 shipwrecks in the North Atlantic alone. Many of these sunken ships have been explored over time and have provided insights into history. Some were warfare vessels while others carried cargo or passengers. Several famous shipwrecks are highlighted, including the Queen Elizabeth II, Titanic, Mary Rose, and Andrea Doria. Shipwrecks often occurred due to accidents, bad weather, or equipment failures. Many sunken ship sites are now popular tourist attractions and homes to marine life.
The village of Mangalia is first mentioned in the 13th century under the names Pangalla or Pancalia. It was originally a Greek colony called Callatis, which flourished for over 1,000 years under successive rulers before being replaced by a fishing settlement after invasions in the 8th-9th centuries. After World War II, Mangalia became a military border area before reopening to tourism in 1954. It has since developed major spa and beach resorts and its harbor has been transformed into a tourism and leisure center, making it one of the largest ports on the Black Sea. Archaeological remains from its time as the Greek colony of Callatis can be seen in its Museum of Archaeology.
THE REVOLUTIONS IN THE MEANS OF TRANSPORT FROM PRE-HISTORY TO THE CONTEMPORAR...Fernando Alcoforado
This article aims to present the evolution of land, waterways, air and space transport means throughout history and its future perspectives. The means of transport can be classified into land, pipelines, waterways, air and space. The evolution of the means of transport was essential for the development of humanity. What will the land transport of the future look like? What will the waterway transport of the future look like? What will the air transport of the future look like? What will the space transport of the future look like? This article provides answers to these questions.
From ancient dugout canoes to modern megaships, maritime vessels have evolved significantly over thousands of years. Early boats included Egyptian reed boats, Khufu's solar boat made of wood and rope, and dhows used in the Red Sea. During medieval times, Viking longships with 60 rowers and massive Chinese junks carrying over 200 people were prominent. The first steamship to cross the Atlantic was the SS Savannah in 1818. Modern developments include the first iron hulled ocean liner SS Great Britain in 1843, the first oil tanker the Zoroaster in 1870, the ill-fated RMS Titanic in 1912, and now huge passenger, war, and cargo ships.
The Alkimos was originally a US Liberty Ship launched in World War 2 called the Viggo Hansteen. After the war it was sold to Greek owners and renamed Alkimos. Over the next 20 years it endured many accidents and workers believed it was jinxed. In 1964 it wrecked on Eglinton Rocks near Mindarie, Australia after breaking free from its anchor. Attempts to salvage or scrap the wreck were unsuccessful. For many years the partly dismantled remains could be seen from shore but have since disintegrated. Local myth says the wreck is haunted by the spirit of a seaman named Harry, with reported sightings of his apparition on deck and strange smells from the galley
Within the Project "Sharing Experience Across the Ría", CEIP PLURILINGÜE Grade 5 students have made a research about the school area by the Ría and how it has changed in recent years to share with another school across the Ría.
The document provides a history of Sunderland, England from Roman times to the present. It details how Sunderland started as a fishing village and grew into a major port city due to its shipbuilding industry. Important historical sites mentioned include St. Peter's Church from the Anglo-Saxon monastery period, the Winter Gardens museum which has exhibits on Sunderland's glassmaking and pottery industries, and the Penshaw Monument memorial built in the 1840s. Tragedies like the 1883 Victoria Hall disaster that killed over 180 children are also discussed.
The document discusses plans to create artificial reefs off the coast of Cyprus through sinking ships. It describes surveys that will be conducted of proposed sink sites and consultation with stakeholders. The objective is to create habitat and restore biodiversity through this process, not for harvesting purposes. Several artificial reef projects have already been completed off the coasts of Limassol and Protaras, including sinking the Liberty, a Russian cargo vessel, to create Cyprus' first artificial reef.
Bells have been used by shepherds for centuries as musical instruments and tools. Shepherds carefully select bells and attach them to animals in their flock, as the unique sounds help the shepherd identify and locate their animals. Bells come in different sizes and are made of various metals, with additions like silver believed to improve the tone. Shepherds rely on bells to monitor their flocks from afar during grazing and use distinctive bells to separate their animals if flocks intermingle. Larger bells were also sometimes used to discipline disobedient animals.
Cold beetroot soup (šaltibarščiai) is a traditional Lithuanian summer soup made from beets, milk kefir or sour milk, and various vegetables. It has a striking pink color from the beets. The soup is believed to have originated when there was no time to cook food, so a cold pink beet soup was made using vegetables for vitamins and sour milk or water to quench thirst. Today it remains a favorite, especially in spring and summer. The soup is easy to make but takes on different flavors based on family recipes.

3. THE CRAFT OF WOODEN SHIPBUILDING
Greece has serious reasons to be
proud of its seafaring heritage. Some of the oldest
shipwrecks in the world have been discovered
among its 3,000 islands, and there’s little doubt
that many of its native craft can trace their lineage back
to Homer’s time. ΞΥΛΟΝΑΥΠΗΓΙΚΗ
Wooden boats, an expression of an art from other
times, witness the human relationship with the sea,
recall the past and raise the nostalgia for another way
of life.
4. The craftsmen of wooden boats inherited their ancient art from Homeric Odysseus, the first recorded
woodcarver in the history of sailing. And some dignitaries have continued it to this day. It is an art that is being
lost, the pre-eminently supply source of the Aegean culture.

8. Trata
A narrow, fishing boat,
usually rowed but
sometimes with one or
two masts. The stem has
an unusual projection
forward, possibly used for
stepping on and off the
boat.
14. Sailing in a traditional Caique feels like being
placed inside a rare flower amidst the blue
waters of the Aegean Sea, the warmth of the
glistening sun’s rays playfully bouncing on the
sea’s surface and gracefully enhancing the
magical landscapes.

15. The Gatzaos were sailing merchant
cargo boats, often used in
communication between the Ionian
Islands and the opposite coast of
Epirus. This type is almost extinct
today.
A rare "Gatzaos". One of the last in
operation. It transports between
Kalamos and Mytika.

16. The history of the Greek shipbuilding dates back to Homer's times. Traditional wooden
shipbuilding that is still practiced today has incorporated several of the Medieval techniques’
elements. The earliest written shipbuilding manuals, which originated in Venice and are dated to
the early 15th century, refer exclusively to Medieval shipbuilding (also known as skeleton first
construction).
Boatbuilding really took off in Greece after 1774, when an agreement with Russia allowed ships
from Greece, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire, to sail unimpeded in the Black Sea.
The country’s strategic position between east and west, and the ability of its watercraft to outrun
the British blockade of Napoleon’s empire, turned it into a major shipping power and by extension
a great shipbuilding force.
The main building centers at that time were the islands of Hydra, Spetses and Psara, which were
to play a central role in the war of independence that followed in 1821–30. Other important
shipping centers were Chios, Kasos, Messolonghi and Galaxidi.
After independence, a thriving boatbuilding center emerged in Syros island.

17. Shipbuilding
What is carnagio or tarsanas?
The term "carnagio" has the same root as the term
"carena" (of Italian origin), ie the part of the ship
that is under water, the hull. There stick algae and
shells that need to be cleaned. They brought them
to the shallow waters of the shipbuilding zone,
tilted them to their side and ‘carenized' them.
So when we talk about 'carnagia' we mean the
places where traditional wooden boats are built
and repaired. Another term used for these sites is
"tarsanas" (from arsenale, a shipyard for
warships). So these two terms refer to "shipyards"
of the traditional type.

19. A man has been practicing the craft of
shipbuilding for over 60 years. When he
speaks about wooden boats, there is
sorrow in his eyes. After all, his son was
not keen on learning the techniques he
has honed for decades.
Lesvos island
21. Simi island
‘’My father bought land in 1942 and
opened a shipyard. He made botis,
yialadikes and achtarmades (sponge-
fishing), papadies, trehantiria.
Many Symians dived for sponges in Crete,
Cyprus, the Red Sea and Benghazi. They
left in May and returned in October’’.
‘’He had 15 helpers and craftsmen. In the
past, wood was cut by hand. We had
orders from Crete, Karpathos, Kastellorizo,
Rhodes, Kalymnos, Volos. In the early
1980's, we built ten or twelve boats a year.
At that time there was a subsidy of up to
60% for new fishing boats. There were no
roads and the people of Symi went
everywhere by boat - to Gialos, to
Panormitis ".
33. In recent years, various private and public bodies have been working to protect and promote the
shipbuilding cultural heritage in Greece.
In this context, exhibitions and competitions with traditional boats are organized, such as:
Spetses Classic Yacht Regatta
Cyclades Classic Yacht Race
Traditional Boat Show

Trehantiri
In 1821, Trehantiria were
used as post offices in the
Navy of the island. After 1900
they were used for sponge
fishing. They traveled to the
Mediterranean and the
Aegean, significantly
promoting trade and sponge
fishing. In the post-war years
they were used to transport
passengers. Today they are
mainly fishing boats.

Our tradition will be lost.
These hulls are our Nautical Art, they are our history, they are GREECE
44. Today, these vessels, evidence of the Greek naval tradition, are in danger of extinction.
Since 1991, when the European directive was implemented, about 10,000 traditional wooden boats
have been dismantled and it seems that in the next years there will be almost none left, to remind the
great Greek naval tradition. The traditional wooden boats will only exist as a memory, the last
carnagias/shipyards will be closed, our ports will be filled with imported plastic boats, our shipbuilding
art, with a history of 2,500 years, will disappear.
45. "On Monday, they will break the 'Glykeria', our 2001 trehantiri." Many
fishermen break down their boats to receive compensation from the EU as
part of its policy to reduce overfishing. In Harani, in the other carnagio of
Symi, "Glykeria" together with a liberty are waiting for their time to come.
With the breaking and granting of the permit, the owner of the fishing
boat receives 80,000 euros and buys a new plastic boat, so that he can go
to more distant places for fishing.
How to issue a new license is a question, as is why thousands of
irreplaceable traditional boats, unique examples of Greek woodworking
have been destroyed for so many years, while the state could make a
change in their characterization (eg "leisure") to be maintained.

46. The future of the Greek traditional boats
Academic research has indicated that there is a significant daily loss of information about
traditional shipbuilding in Greece for over a century. The methods, materials and products
associated with this activity, are being forgotten or even destroyed due to non-renewal of the
professional occupation of designers - artisans, the incomplete recording of existing knowledge
and the simultaneous natural destruction of existing traditional vessels.
A study conducted by the Traditional Boat Association of Greece, recorded 14,500 wooden boats
sailing in Greece about 20 years ago out of which 12,500 have been destroyed following a law
imposed by the European Union in 1996 to prevent overfishing in the Mediterranean. More
specifically, the EU began to give incentives to reduce the fishing fleet in Europe and subsidize
the destruction of fishing vessels with large sums of money, which could otherwise be rescued
and used with some modifications for other purposes (pleasure boats, tourist boats).
47. If you take Greece apart, in the end you will be left with an olive tree, a vineyard, and a boat...
which means that with these items you can rebuild Greece...
