An exhibition of drawings and models of wooden boats will open in Arkhangelsk

It will begin work on April 26 at 19:00 – at the shipyard of the Pomeranian Shipbuilding Partnership in Northern (Arctic) Federal University

The exhibition will feature karbas, mezenki, soyanki and other types of traditional boats from the White Sea, Kenozero, Mezen, and Solovki. The future exhibition is one of the results of the project “In the footsteps of traditional shipbuilding in Pomerania: a research expedition”, implemented with the support of the governor’s center “Together we are stronger.”

The expedition members looked for traditional boats, measured them, made a 3D copy of them, and then created 3D models of them and produced drawings. The exhibition will present materials on twenty traditional boats that have survived to this day.

Mikhail Krupenin, an engineer at the Pomeranian Shipbuilding Partnership shipyard, will talk about the history of these boats, design features and the process of digitizing and preserving these objects of Russian cultural heritage.

Free admission.
