narrowed it down for us and forrester was the first name that sprang to mind which aboard. the customers were impressed by the ability of pictures of all the ship builders to identify the historical background by word of mouth alone the boats for the hornblower sequel which were built in petra's of votes one two emmy awards. it's in every. person. building rowing boats as well as models was quite a challenge with worse weather and 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. it took puzzles shipyard less than

a. maxime king and six companions spent more than two days a med journey from to cut cut to keiji they travelled by air train and steamboats a team that brought with them one hundred fifty kilograms of war riskin which they were going to use to make a boat but they were in for a disappointment at the end of that journey probably were very unfortunately each wallet in transit because we didn't stored properly a record. but. nevertheless the took she craftsman managed to find an alternative. they replaced the natural skin of a common chukchi war us with plastic. kayak was ready to use a day before the race. so we turn it around now we'll turn it around one we get to the water.

she she is an island on lake a nigga. here is a unique museum would knock a tech check. 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 a pier for visitors. but for the most part the island looks just like it did one hundred fifty years ago but outsiders can only come here either as taurus or as participants in the keiji regatta which is held once a year. the participants in the bolton expedition being organized by a monk the testers insist on historical authenticity of their sporting armor and learning how to wield mediæval weapons.

wooden boat sailing vessel standing side by side with three hundred year old wooden churches strengths in the illusion of a journey to the times when timber was the principal building to you. that's not always traditional russian on protection reasoning this is because the main constructions have been made without really a person so to make do without because they cost a lot of money. that are this is such roofs for instance there are piles of churches. barns and wealth causes and the like every barn has a wooden. this is the source of the legend claiming that the keys e churches were built without

a single nail in them and reality only the walls and roofs were made without using nails and 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. 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 disassembled part of the church this is the lifting system a complete with lifting jacks. it works just like this. puts us through word with what this means of a building a substance doesn't get in the way as we work on the foundation says it's.

one of the first bowring is imposed communist russia is cycling briskly to make sure he reports for work on time. these hundreds the bells and mostly the cheesy church shot 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. 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 cities. today the bell 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.
