one of the scenes from the blockbuster pirates of the caribbean beach is a sailing vessel built puzzle much you called shipyard. pavel has warm memories of another occasion when he got a request from british filmmakers. of all for almost. well into the telephone call and the caller said he represented a film company in the studio much of that will go beyond me to build some models for a film but he didn't say exactly which film it was going to be. shortly before the phone call powerful had read the whole a novel by the british author sessile scott forrest it was cliff. the list of ships that he was being asked to do his bit for an adaptation of the book. got to go with it but he said right away though that it was about see battles cheering the napoleonic wars so were there no more to. serve even that small bit of information

narrowed it down for us and forrester was the first name that sprang to mind when she bore down but its customers were impressed by the ability of petra's of all ship builders to identify the historical background by word of mouth alone the boats for the hornblower see cool which were built in petrus of votes one two emmy awards. season ticket holder and. building rowing boats as well as models was quite a challenge to force. which we had to have 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 an industry it from a french one. into puddles shipyard less than

a year to build eleven replica vessels and four full scale rowing boats dating back to the late eighteenth century. collingswood done by restores the keiji museum. and yourself a year to complete the job and we build models with sails cannons and carvings. since. some of the ships launched in petra's 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 a boat it was made in victor dmitri of shipyard in petra's evolved almost twenty years ago at the request of a russian film company. the vessel is an exact copy of a sixteenth century cost but. so you have replaced this part here yes

excellent now the blanks here please. replica was featured in a film about the legendary. the man who conquered siberia. naturally will sew it up into four sections then will separate it in the meat section and then put it all back together in the museum. sometimes victorian pawel compete for clients on other occasions they combine forces on joint projects. one of the his employees is showing the monk how the project is progressing. a song stylo good day i was a go a lot of money everything's fine. have you finished in the decade. but let's install the gas tank here.

maybe let's put it there to go. with all the other equipment has been linked up. like the engine control. right now demetrius company is working on boats ordered by theo the monks idea was to use three replicas of ancient russian boats to retrace the waterway that links russia to the balkans in the eleventh century. life has lost that precious kernel that used to be at its very core the joys of creation learning and discovery is what we hope to be able to revive those values by organizing what we call the journey from russia to the land of the serbs. since then the has built some fifty vessels the shipyard launches new boats on a reg. basis in petrus of votes victor is known by the nickname out of. some of the monks specially ordered boats are ready to test on the water

ended up in an a deer where the boats were taken apart the expeditions members return to their base in yet on foot. seven replicas of pomo boats that you just set out on an expedition retracing the route only two of them have been built so far. they have been tried out in both the white sea and in two of europe's largest lakes. and lot of alexei vala boy the job of took part in both trials. at a friend's a completely unique experience it's nothing like what you're used to back in town you don't need to take ten calls or write five hundred emails a year you need to know how to set a sail in the nick of time. float your vessel if it runs aground well with all that completely changes your mindset and even helps you to find your purpose in life or for. the st nicholas to safely reached kishi

island with tourists on board. tomorrow one of the main events of the year the kishi regatta will take place. here yeah hang the ladder up to the right side. seven old men from to cook are going to take part in the first kishi regatta. they're building a traditional chook cheek kayak on a nearby island. these days they use only small car yards for hunting at sea but in the old days large kayaks like this one were used for to hunt for whales and walrus or. this one here is the bee gaia. maxime to and six companions spent more than two days on that journey from to cut to key they travelled by effort train i'm steam boat 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. unfortunately. because we didn't stored properly. nevertheless the chook tree craftsman managed to find an alternative. they replaced the natural skin of a common chook she wore us with plastic. kayak was ready to use a day before the race. so we turn it around no we'll turn it around when we get to the water. she is an island on lake an egg. here is a unique museum of would not the texture of the island. the collection

includes dozens of structures some of them more than two hundred years old. one of the buildings dates back almost five hundred years. more recent structures are found on the coast guard 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 balkan expedition being organized by month thick to insist on historical friend to city their sporting armor and learning how to wield mediæval weapons.

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 material here. that's another of our traditional raw. and i could tell actual reasoning this is because the main constructions have been made without. peasants so to make do without because they cost a lot of money. that artists be got such roofs for instance there are piles of churches. in both houses and like everybody else but would. 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. 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 of being gradually replaced since two thousand. now the church is almost suspended in the air because of the restoration work on its foundation. this to begin with we needed a good foundation the lower part was taken away to be restored we put up a new stance and disassembled part of the church this is the lifting system of complete with lifting jacks. it works just like this. persons who were done with but this means that the building as such doesn't get in the way as we work on the foundation. one of the first bell ring is imposed communist russia is cycling briskly to make

sure he reports for welcome time. these hundreds the bells and three of the t.g. 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 the city. today the bells sound as they did a hundred or two hundred years ago because they're not drowned out by noise. and the water also helps the chinese travel over long distances. trying different depending on whether the secular holiday is being celebrated igor who saved the villages sometimes even danced to the sound bells.
