  • Maritime Areas, Ports and Sea Routes: Defining Space and Connectivity Between Malta and the Eastern Mediterranean 1770-1820
    Journal of Maltese History, volume 5, number 2 (2018) Maritime Areas, Ports and Sea Routes: Defining Space and Connectivity between Malta and the Eastern Mediterranean 1770-1820 Frank Theuma Independent Researcher Introduction The numerous ships that arrived in Malta from eastern Mediterranean points of origin and were recorded systematically in the quarantine and arrival registers1 [henceforth QR] of Malta reveal an intense maritime traffic (1770-1815). They reveal a substantial connection between a large number of eastern Mediterranean commercial nodes and ports and the port of Malta. These ports and nodes were dotted over a wide geographical expanse, they differed widely in scale and importance, and presented different economic profiles, that changed and evolved along the years. Some rose from nothing, like the Black Sea port of Odessa.2 Some expanded in their operation, others contracted and declined. Some were massive trading hubs, like Smyrna, Salonica and Alexandria, with a wide range of far-flung sea and land connections, and from where hundreds of sailing voyages started, some of which found themselves sailing into the port of Malta. These hubs dealt with equally massive amounts of cargo consisting of a wide diversity of products that originated from proximal and distant locations in their extensive hinterlands. Others, like a number of locations that dotted the coasts of Epirus, the gulf of Arta, on the western coast of Greece, or the Gulf of Patras were mere beaches; landings that served as an outlet for a local product. At the latter, mariners anchored or beached their small vessels to take on board cargo that was limited in both variety and quantity.

  • Names and Characteristics of 18Th Century Croatian Ships in the Adriatic Sea from the Croatian Maritime Regesta V
    Z. P. Čizmek and N. M. Brandl Names and characteristics of 18th century... str. 91−145 UDK 656.61 (497) Izvorni znanstveni rad Primljeno: 19.11.2020. Prihvaćeno: 20.1.2021. Names and characteristics of 18th century Croatian ships in the Adriatic Sea from the Croatian Maritime Regesta v. I Zrinka Podhraški Čizmek and Naida-Mihal Brandl1 This paper analyzes all the names and characteristics of ships regis- tered in the Croatian Maritime Regesta v. I, which represent 4,890 documents with 18th c. information on the entries and exits of ships from several Adriatic ports. A total of 6,479 sailing ships have been found under 55 different terms. A comparative analysis of their char- acteristics and specific features has proven that in the 18th c., between the ports of Adriatic coasts, intensive trading was taking place on a daily basis. From the analysis it is evident that the merchants and small paroni preferred to use smaller ships, with a deadweight ton- nage of between 20 and 300 t, which were faster and easier to man- age, with good sailing properties. These were primarily trabaccolos (accounting for 22.7% of trade), then pielegos (21%) and tartanes (15.4%), brazzeras (5.2%), marcilianas (2.7%), polacres (2.4%), barche (1.6%) and grippos (1.4%). Smaller ships under 300 t of deadweight tonnage accounted for as much as 76% of the total sailers listed, while the larger ships, with over 300 t of deadweight tonnage, among which were frigatoons (5.3%) and huge navas i.e. vessels (5.2%), accounted for 14% of the total, predominantly extra-Adriatic and extra-Mediterranean traffic.

  • The Traditional Boats of Venice Assessing a Maritime Heritage
    The Traditional Boats of Venice Assessing a Maritime Heritage An Interdisciplinary Qualifying Project Submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted By: Sean Candlish Craig Shevlin Sarah Stout On- Site Liaison: Giovanni Caniato Submitted To: Project Advisors: Fabio Carrera H.J. Manzari Date: July 30, 2004 www.wpi.edu/~candyman [email protected] 1 I. ABSTRACT This Interdisciplinary Qualifying Project looks at the traditional boats of Venice, Italy. Traditional boats in Venice are becoming endangered and in some cases extinct, because of the inception and growing popularity of the motor boat. Venetians have always had a special relationship with their boats because of Venice’s unique environment. Through maps and databases we examine the entire traditional boat community in Venice with an aim of preventing the loss of traditional boats to Venice. 2 II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Venice has a special relationship with its environment one that is special to the character and spirit that contributes to making Venice such a richly cultured and artistic city. One cannot look at this cities relationship with its setting and not mention the special connection Venetians have with their boats. Without boats there could be no Venice, boats have brought the city everything it has needed for survival since it was settled in the fifth century. These handcrafted traditional boats are a special piece of heritage, culture, and public art in Venice. Unfortunately with advancements in technology, specifically the additions of mechanical propulsion to boats, types of traditional Venetian boats have started to become endangered and in some cases become extinct.
