Shipbuilding In Ukraine
The Ukrainian shipbuilding industry began to develop in times of the Cossacks. History Cossacks Times The most popular ships built were gulls and large single mast ships. As the sea was controlled by the Ottoman Empire, shipbuilding was developed near the Dnipro river, where wood - the main material for shipbuilding at the time - was readily available. To build a Cossack gull took approximately 2 weeks, utilizing the labour of around 60 people. The bottom of ships was made of willow or linden. The vessels' hulls were made from oak planks. On the fore and aft, they built cabins to store provisions, ammunition and weapons. At the centre of the deck the mast was fixed with sails; on both sides of the boat were between 20 and 40 oars. These ships were very maneuverable. The length of the boat was between 15 and 22 meters, the height was about 4 meters, and the width - 6 meters. The boat could hold between 40 and 60 Cossacks.
