However, the domain is historic wooden ships of the golden age of sailboats, such as merchant, war or royal English, Spanish galleys, schooners, ships of famous discoverers or Viking and for us exotic East Asian ships.

It means having a certain skill and knowledge of the lever with various materials, adhesives, paints and varnishes.
