Description: | Polish passenger/cargo vessel, a Vistula plank boat called 'Krakowka' (which simply means ‘from Krakow’). It has a flat bottom of three planks, two lapstrake side planks, a black block stem and a flat transom stern. The hull is caulked with moss held in place with juniper lathes which when kept wet keeps the hull flexible and watertight. This is preserved by a natural oil mixture applied to the planking. With mast, sail and pole. | Publisher: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/page/7d7ded6fb50d6031e2884961a200be58.html | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Creator: | Frances Okoniewski, Frances | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
