internal laws over there. are you going to cover it up you know this stays open for a number of factors it should be covered up. you know you'll get access through this opening. it will this be closed. that will be open you'll have a hard time getting anything through there if the hole is 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 payer of the arctic odyssey club victor dmitri if he's off his son alexei. don't lean over the side to reduce to 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

pummel merchants to 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 in 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. the ship will cover some fourteen or tickle miles before it reaches keiji island by lake lanier 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. of the city skip the historical buddha is like a time machine when you get on board dressed up accordingly or even just wearing

your regular service you find yourself in the atmosphere of a wife that has no more. look to dmitri have built his first sailing vessel more than thirty years ago since then private enterprises have sprung up going to where the filth of the first boat was called the fillmore little army even though he was in one hundred eighty seven when we went to spins bergen aboard that vessel at that will get up of course and we naturally we experienced first hand the pleasures of going to history boarded into each boat going to the. film companies often turn to petrus of boats ship billed as. one of the scenes from the blockbuster pirates of the caribbean beach is a sailing vessel built puzzle much you called shipyards. 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 it's better 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 novel by the british author sessile scott forrest it was clear from the list of ships that he was being asked to do his bit for an ad. taishan book. got to go with it but he said right away though that it was about see battles cheering the napoleonic wars so now more to. serve even that small bit of information narrowed it down forests and forrester was the first name that sprang to mind for them but its 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 see cool but to

a built in petrus of one to emmy awards. season ticket will. not ability a building rowing boats as well as models was quite a challenge to force it up whether we had to have a lot of archive material to be able to make english and french vessels. if you're a mom and we were also told that british audiences can be quite sophisticated. but they have no difficulty telling an english for it 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. the collingswood done by restores the keiji museum . itself

a year to complete the job and we build models with sales canons 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 dimitri of shipyard in petra's avoids almost twenty years ago at the request of a russian film company. the vessel is an exact copy of the sixteenth century 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 separate it in the meat section and then put

it all back together in the good museum. sometimes victor and pavel compete for clients on other occasions they combine forces on joint projects. one of the 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 if nobody hoped to be able to revive those values by organizing what we called 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 petra's of votes victor is known by the nickname. some of the monks specially old with boats are ready to test on the wall to accompanying the monk on his trip all historical enthusiastic their aim is to reach the shores of keiji island to take part in a special performance. from the days of the manhattan project nine hundred forty two the university of

california has been involved through the science it's provision and scientists and their relationship to the versity you see since day one has been in charge of researching designing and testing nuclear weapons and to some extent producing weapons every single long nuclear weapon inside a as arsenal was designed by university of california. we don't warm go. to university of california who was selected as the contract because the army needed scientists to leave their diversity positions. a group of protesters interrupted a university of california border regions meeting to demand the school's severed

ties with the nation's nuclear weapons program. at the beginning of the season the arctic odyssey shipyard that was launched to pummel boats. they had been ordered by the government of russia's northeast region of two katka which is less than one hundred kilometers from alaska. up but you're almost more wires the rope doesn't play the small. one shifted so it won't get in the way. of. the wind is picking up quickly.

in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries european explorers were busy looking for routes leading 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 its very roots as a reminder of the discoveries made by russian seafarers. jim young just knows forage around to called kernville of seven such boats he set out from the arctic ocean and ended up in an a deer where the boats were taken apart while the expeditions members return to their base in yet on foot. seven replicas of the pommel boats a team to set out on an expedition retracing their steps 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 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 a year you need to know how to set a sale 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 favor. the st nicholas has safely reached keiji island with tourists on board. tomorrow one of the main events of the year because she regatta will take place. here on hang the ladder up to the right side.

seven old men from to cut are going to take part in the first key she regrets. they're building a traditional church she cut back on a nearby island. these days to 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 like there were. this one here is the bee gaia. maxime and six companions spent more than two days on that journey from to cut cut to keep they traveled by f. train and steamboat the team had brought with them one hundred fifty kilograms of war skin which they were going to use to make a boat but they were in for a disappointment at the end of that journey earlier with the first quarter of unfortunately each wanted 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 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 she is an island on lake an egg. here is a unique museum of would not the texture on 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 yes 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 the brilliant peasants so to make do without because they cost a lot of money here is that artists such groups for instance who are part of the church's. bonds if you can both houses and like everybody else who 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 have been gradually replaced since two thousand. now the church is almost suspended in the air because of the restoration work on its foundation. 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 church this is the lifting system of complete with lifting jacks. it works just like this. so through them of put through this means that the building assumption 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. hundred of 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 since it is impossible to confuse the chime of bells

with any of. this everything here now 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 bell sun 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 says that villages sometimes even danced to the sound bells. and improvise ation on the theme of festive choice but i mean normally this stall is not intended for people marching in a religious procession or rather it's adopted to the stroke of an old.

pick up that. it is only natural that chime from the belfry signals the start of the keys. thirty participants. three batteries. additional wooden boats and modern sports boats 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 timber but. stroke one stroke. stroke free stroke for. 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. brakes.

the rudders come loose. rule harder stroke one. stroke. stroke free. but neither the tiresome journey the ruined walrus skin all the failure of the rudder can stop the choke races they take first place in that category with a record sixty minutes and forty seven seconds. stroke four stroke five stroke six stroke seven. the son of the ship builder from petra zawacki has taken part in the kishi regatta for the first time his vessel in the modern sports but category came second many generations of people to call his ancestors lived on the shores of the lake.

another key ziva gotta come to an end. guests and participants bid farewell to one another and prepare for departure. the keiji rules astringent everybody with the exception of museum staff is required to leave the island before eight pm. to send nicholas to say goodbye to everybody by firing a shot from it's come and. 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. lake a new guy is new tourist for its current selling that is sometimes more treacherous

than an open water indeed locals often regard it as a seat but how strong is the wind a westerly wind is ten meters per second. the crew of the st nicholas set sail for the lake. passing the book just. for you frightens no not yet and then fascinates. all the writer. before they reach home they will have to cover some fourteen all to cool miles through rough waves.
