history boarded into each boat going to. film companies often tend to touch is about six ship billed as. one of the scenes from the blockbuster pirates of the caribbean beach is a sailing vessel built puzzle much you called shipyard. paddle has war memories of another occasion when he got a request from british filmmakers. about for a run up to the bios of the telephone call and the caller said he represented a film company in the studio that's a rather girly always a bill some models for a film but he didn't say exactly which film it was going to be. shortly before the phone call pavel had read the hornblower a novel by the british author sessile scott forrester it was clear from the list of ships and he was being asked to do his bit for an adaptation of the book. beautiful

and then over the go work but he said right away that it was about see battles during the napoleonic wars so but there's no more to read so even a small bit of information narrowed it down for us and forrester was the first name that sprang to mind in which a board member of. the customers were impressed by the ability of petra's of old ship builders to identify the historical background by word of mouth alone the boats for the hornblower sequel but for built in petrus of votes one two emmy awards. this is the world's. first not ability building rowing boats as well as models was quite a challenge the force. which we had to handle a lot of archive material to be able to make english and french vessels. and we were also told that british audiences can be quite sophisticated but. they

have no difficulty telling us for it from a french one. it took puzzles shipyard less than a year to build eleven african vessels in four full scale rowing boats dating back to the late eighteenth century. because things were done by restorers in the keiji museum. yourself a year to complete the job it was and we build models with sails cannons and carvings. since board. some of the ships launched in patches of all skin the past years are already part of modern history a museum in the siberian town of circuit is playing with the idea of enriching its collection with a replica of the cossacks but it was made in victor dimitri of shipyard in petra's avoid score most twenty years ago at the request of a russian film company. the vessel is an exact copy of the sixteenth century cost

but. so you have replaced this part here yes excellent now fifty blanks here please. replica was featured in a film about the legendary. the man who conquered siberia. this is the live natural will saw it up into four sections then will separate it borrow in the meat section and then put it all back together and it's so good museum. sometimes victor and pavel compete for clients on other occasions they combine forces on joint projects and. one of the employees is showing the monk how the project is progressing. a song still low in day how's it going not my everything's fine.

reached keiji island with tourists on board. tomorrow one of the main events of the year because she regatta will take place. here hang the ladder up to the right side. seven olds. are going to take part in their first key she regrets. they're building a traditional church she cut back on a nearby island. these days to use only small kayaks for hunting at sea but in the old days large coyotes like this one were used for to hunt for whales and walrus or. this one here is the big guy of. maxime jane and you and six companions spent more than two days on their journey from to cut cut the key they travelled by train and steamboats the team had brought

with them one hundred fifty kilograms of war risk in which they were going to use to make a boat but they were in for a disappointment at the end of that journey there were over unfortunately each wallet in transit because we didn't stored properly. nevertheless the chook tree craftsman managed to find an alternative. they replaced the natural skin of a common chukchi warriors with plastic. kayak was ready to use a day before the race. so we turn it around now we'll turn it around when we get to the water if. he is an island the lake a nigga. here is a unique museum of would not the texture of the island. the collection

includes dozens of structures some of them are more than two hundred years old. one of the buildings dates back almost five hundred years. more recent structures are found on the coast such as appear to visitors. but for the most part the island looks just like it did one hundred fifty years ago. outsiders can only come here either as tourists or as participants in the keiji regatta which is held once a year. the participants in the bolton expedition being organized by month thick to insist on historical friend to city their sporting armor and learning how to wield mediæval weapons. with. a.

wooden boats and sailing vessels standing side by side with three hundred year old wooden churches strengthen the illusion of a journey to the times when timber was the principal building to hear. our traditional russians. protection reasoning this is because the main constructions i have been made without a brilliant person so to make do without because they cost a lot of money. that are this is such groups for instance were part of the church's . bonds but houses and the like everybody else over the. this is the source of the legend claiming that the keys e churches were built without a single nail in the in reality only the walls and roofs were made without using nails they were indispensable church terms nowadays children play with building

blocks know only too well how the walls were built this technique makes restoration much easier damaged parts of the transfiguration church have been gradually replaced since two thousand and four now the church is almost suspended again because of the restoration work on its foundations. but this is a begin with we needed a good foundation the lower part was taken away to be restored we put up a new stance and this is sampled part of church this is the lifting system of complete with lifting jacks see it works just like this. with a wooden. this means that the building as such doesn't get in the way as we work on the foundation. huzzah one of the first bowring is in post communist russia is cycling briskly to

make sure he reports from work on time. these hundreds the bell isn't really the cheesy church for almost two decades there are only a few places in the world where the sound of bells can spread far and wide without echoing off of the surface and it is impossible to confuse the chime of bells with any of. this everything here. is just as it was in the eighteenth and nineteenth century there's no noise of the kind you find in cities. today the bells sound as they did a hundred or two hundred years ago because they're not turned out by noise. and the water also helps the chinese travel over long distances. trying different depending on whether the richest secular holiday is being celebrated igor who says that village is sometimes even danced to the sound of bells.

very strong force. the races are expected to cover one nautical mile with each boat going at its own pace as a rule half an hour is enough for even the slowest butts. even over that short distance accidents still happen the rudder of the cheek brakes. the rudders come loose. a little harder stroke one. stroke. stroke free. but neither the tiresome journey the ruined walrus skin all the failure of the construct the choke the racers they take first place in that category with a record sixty minutes and forty seven seconds. stroke four stroke five stroke six stroke seven.
