get internals over there. are you going to cover it up there's no this stays open. up like it should be covered up. you know you'll get access through the circulation . will this be closed. they'll be open you have a hard time getting anything through there to hold this position to. cover those shipyards stand side by side with the wall known by victor dimitri of the st nicholas is about to set out from the pair of the arctic to see club victims a meter if he's off his son alexei. gone for we know with his side the weed is too strong. safety first. the st nicholas was built in petra's of all skin one thousand nine hundred one such boats were used by paul most people who lived on the russian coast of the white sea in the fifteenth

through to eighteenth centuries similar boats to formal merchants every part of northern europe. over the past two decades maritime festivals made to st nicholas a familiar sight all the way from bergen and norway to bristol britain. we sailed past france and norway which travelled across the northern seed to new castle in england we've been in swedish and danish waters we've covered practically the whole of northern europe. a ship will cover some forty nautical miles before it reaches key g i. island file a canoe got. nearly all local ship builders meet there once a year the kishi regatta is a traditional boat race in russia's northwest it takes place on the first weekend of oldest. plymouth and if the historical book is like

a time machine when you get on board if you're dressed up accordingly or even just wearing your regular service you find yourself in the atmosphere of a life that is no more. victor dimitri have built his first sailing vessel more than thirty years ago since then private enterprises have sprung up. to defer school it was called people more little army than bush was in one hundred eighty seven when we went to spitzbergen aboard the vessel if you will get what we naturally we experienced first hand the pleasures of going to history boarded into each boat kind of. film companies often turn to purchase of old school ship builders. one of the scenes from the blockbuster pirates of the caribbean beach is a sailing vessel built a couple much occult shipyard. pavel has war memories of another occasion when he

got a request from british filmmakers. of alpha ronald. bios of the telephone call and the caller said he represented a film company would you. rather go he also has to build some models for a film be able 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 that he was being asked to do his bit for an adaptation of the book. you know if we're going to go with it but he said right away though it was about see battles during the napoleonic wars so were there no more to. serve even a small bit of information narrowed it down for us and forrester was the first name that sprang to mind when. the customers were impressed by the ability of petra's of old shipbuilders to identify the historical background by word of mouth alone the

boats for the hornblower sequel but for built in patches of votes one two emmy awards. this is the world's. first. 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 an english frigate from a french one. into puzzles 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.

yourself a year to complete the job and we don't models with sails cannons and carvings. since. some of the ships launched in factories of all skin the past years are already part of modern history a museum in the siberian town of circuits is playing with the idea of enriching its collection with a replica of the cost but it was made in victor dimitri 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 the sixteenth century cost but. so you have replaced this part here yes excellent now fifty planks here please. replica was featured in a film about the legendary. the man who conquered siberia. with the with naturally will sew it up into four sections then we'll separate the bio in the meat section

and then put it all back together and it's a good museum. sometimes victor and pavel compete for clients on other occasions they combine forces on joint projects. one of the prison ploys is showing the monk how the project is progressing. a low good day how's it going not mine everything's fine. have you finished in the deck you have been you know. let's install the gas tank here for almost maybe let's put it there we've got patients whether it's with all the other equipment has been linked up. like the engine control. right now dimitri have 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 they came to me to have has built some fifty vessels the shipyard launches new boats on a reg. basis in pictures of victor is known by the nickname after. some of the monks specially ordered boats are ready to test on the water accompanying the monk on his trip a historical enthusiastic their aim is to reach the shores of p.g. island to take part in a special performance. on

. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the whole city streets they are. leading cancelling the chances to get with the status of the human experiments given. weeks you'll see this rap music awards it goes to the movies really trying to censor global economy and it's all changed things as financial temples to the release of grambling to maintain our confidence in markets and. wants to be easing

of the beginning of the season the article to see shipyard that has also launched to pall mall but. they have been ordered by the government of russia's northeast region of chukotka which is less than a hundred kilometers. from alaska. up but you go north of the wires the road goes in grade school. are going shifted so we're getting away. from the. wind is picking up quickly with. in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries european explorers were busy looking for routes eating to asia and africa meanwhile their russian counterparts explored the northernmost parts of the asian american continent the authorities of chukotka now want to send an expedition retracing those very rips as a reminder of the discoveries made by russian seafarers. just continue on just

mules forage around and full of seven such boats he sent out from the arctic ocean and ended up in an agenda where the boats were taken apart while the expeditions members returned to their base india on foot. seven replicas of pommel boats and you just set out on an expedition retracing the north's route only two of them have been built so far. they have been tried out in both the white sea and into of europe's largest lakes and yoga and lot of alexei vala boy the job of took part in both trials. at the fleet is 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 here you need to know how to set a sale in the nick of time or refloat your vessel if it runs aground what with all that completely changes your mindset and even helps you to find your purpose in

life or for faith in. the st nicholas to safely reached key she island with tourists on board. tomorrow one of the main events of the year a key she regatta will take place. here yeah hang the ladder up to the right side. up. seven olsen from two caught are going to take part in their first t.v. regatta. they're building a traditional church she kayak on a nearby island. these days to use only small car yards for hunting at sea but in your old days large kayaks like this one were used for to hunt for whales and walrus or this one here is a big guy

a. lexeme thing and you and six companions spent more than two days on their journey from to cut cut the keys they travelled by air train and steamboats a 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 probably there were three quarters of a one fortunately toilet in transit because we didn't stored properly. but. nevertheless the took three craftsman managed to find an alternative. they replaced the natural skin of a common chook she wore a suit with plastic. kayak was ready to use the day before the race. so we turn it around you know we'll turn it around when we get to the water.

k g is an island on lake a nigga. here is a unique museum of wood not the texture. 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. all recent structures are found on the coast such as appear the 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 cheesy regatta which is held once a year. the participants in the balkan expedition being organized by month victis just insist on historical authenticity of their sporting armor and learning how to wield mediæval weapons and.

wooden boats and sailing vessels standing side by side with three hundred year old wooden churches strengthen the illusion of the journey to the times when timber was the principal building material here. that's a matter of our traditional russian i could texture reasoning this is because the main constructions have been made without nails in the bridge peasants sought to make do without because they cost a lot of money. that are such roofs for instance who are part of churches because aspirants laugh houses and the like barn with the wooden. 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. now the church is almost suspended in the air because of the restoration work on its foundation. this is 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 see it works just like this. with a wooden plough this means that the building asuncion doesn't get in the way as we work on the foundation.

igor who one of the first bell ring is in post communist russia is cycling briskly to make sure he reports from time. these hundreds the bell is a bell free 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 kanji bells with any of. everything here. just as it was in the eighteenth or 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 drowned out by noise. the hole in the water also helps the chinese travel over long distances.

china is different depending on whether the interest section the holiday is being celebrated igor who says that villages sometimes even dance to the sound tells. us that this is an improvised ation on the theme of best of choice of the group who i mean normally this style is not intended for people marching in a religious procession. rather it stuck to the stroke of an old. pick up that. it is only natural as chime from the belfry signals the start of the key gene regatta. thirty four disciplines beating three cancerous. boats additional wooden boats and modern sports spokes each category has a subgroup with the number of balls been ranging from one to six. after

a brief deliberation the panel of judges decides to class the true cheek kayak as a traditional symbol but. one. strong very strong form. 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 cheek brakes. the rudders come loose. rule harder stroke. stroke. stroke free. but neither the tires and jenny the ruined wall risk in all the failure of the other can stop the choke chain races they take first place in that category with a record sixty minutes and forty seven seconds. stroke four stroke

goodbye to everybody by firing a shot from its cannon. the boat's crew gets ready for another voyage. i've seen people are put to the test and it soon becomes abundantly clear what sort of person they are. late canada is new tourist for its character selling that is sometimes more treacherous than an open water indeed locals often regarded as a seat but how strong was the wind westerly wind it sent me just a second roger. the crew of the st nicholas set sail for the lake. last in the book just. for you frightens no not yet

and then fascinates. all the rudder. the full they reach home they will have to cover some fourteen also cool miles through rough waves.
