Tataya
Tataya are traditional small fishing boats, with or without outriggers of the Ivatan people in the Philippines. They are generally round-hulled and powered by rowers or sails made from woven pandanus leaves. They have several variants based on size and island of origin. The term ''tataya'' can also be used for all traditional boats in the Batanes Islands in general, similar to the term ''bangka'' in the rest of the Philippines. Types Size The following are the traditional types of tataya based on size: *Suhuan – also known as pangdayan or karakuhan, are the largest types of tataya. They are around long, wide, and deep. They can carry two rowers and one tiller, as well as an additional eight passengers. *Pehan – shorter than the suhuan but proportionally wider. It has two pairs of thole pins (''pasitan'') for rowers. It is around to wide and deep. *Paychanavangan – a small tataya used for hook and line fishing. It can carry two people, but is usually only manned by one. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ivatan People
The Ivatan people are an Austronesian ethnolinguistic group native to the Batanes and Babuyan Islands of the northernmost Philippines. They are genetically closely-related to other ethnic groups in Northern Luzon, but also share close linguistic and cultural affinities to the Tao people of Orchid Island in Taiwan. The culture of the Ivatans is partly influenced by the environmental condition of Batanes. Unlike the old-type nipa huts common in the Philippines, Ivatans have adopted their now-famous stone houses made of coral and limestone, designed to protect against the hostile climate. Origins A 2011 genetic study has concluded that it is likely that the Batanes Islands were initially only used as "stepping stones" during the early stages of the maritime Austronesian expansion from Taiwan into the Philippine Islands (c. 3000 BCE). It was later re-colonized by Austronesians from northern Luzon at around 1200 BCE, which became the ancestors of the Ivatan people. Archaeological ...

Ipanitika
Ipanitika, also known as chinedkulan (also spelled chinedkelan or chinurikuran), are traditional fishing boats of the Tao people of Orchid Island, Taiwan. They are around and can carry up to 10 to 14 people. Smaller versions of the ipanitika is known as the tatara or tatala, which are around long and can carry at least 2 people. They were propelled by oars mounted on a row of rope-wrapped posts that are slotted into a shelf built into the hull of the boat. Description Ipanitika were traditionally used for voyages to the Batanes Islands in the Philippines to trade with the closely-related Ivatan people. The smaller tatara were used for catching seasonal schools of flying fish that arrive from March to June. The launching of ipanitika and tatara during flying fish season is still celebrated annually by the Tao people. Ipantika and Tatara were built using the lashed-lug techniques unique to Austronesian peoples, with ipanitika usually having four strakes, and tatara having three. ...

Falua
Falua, also spelled faluwa, is a traditional open-deck boat of the Ivatan people from the islands of Sabtang and Batan in the Philippines. It is about long and has one mast. It can also be propelled by six to ten pairs of rowers. It can carry thirty passengers and is used to ferry goods between the islands. Modern falua are generally motorized. Falua is similar in shape to the chinarem but differs in that it is usually larger and has a flat transom.

Chinarem
Chinarem was a traditional open-deck boat of the Ivatan people from the island of Sabtang in the Philippines. It was around long with three or four pair of rowers and a single mast. It was similar to the falua in shape, but differs in that the stern was pointed (hence its name). It can carry ten passengers and was generally used to ferry goods and people between the islands of Sabtang and Batan. Chinarem is extinct, it disappeared in Sabtang Island around the 1970s.

Bangka (boat)
Bangka are various native watercraft of the Philippines. It originally referred to small double-outrigger dugout canoes used in rivers and shallow coastal waters, but since the 18th century, it has expanded to include larger lashed-lug ships, with or without outriggers. Though the term used is the same throughout the Philippines, "bangka" can refer to a very diverse range of boats specific to different regions. Bangka was also spelled as banca, panca, or panga (Grammatical gender, m. banco, panco, pango) in Spanish language, Spanish. It is also known archaically as wikt:sakayan, sakayan (also spelled sacayan). Etymology Bangka is derived from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian ''*baŋkaʔ'', with cognates including Kavalan language, Kavalan ''bangka'', Mori language, Mori ''bangka'', and Sumbawa language, Sumbawa ''bangka''. It is a Doublet (linguistics), doublet of two other protoforms referring to boats: Proto-Austronesian ''*qabaŋ'' and Proto-Central-Malayo-Polynesian ''*waŋka''. Ulti ...

Avang
Avang, also known as abang or pontin, is a traditional trading ship of the Ivatan people of the Philippines. It is the largest boat type among the Ivatan people and characteristically has a closed deck. It is about in length and about in height. It is slightly curving, with the bow and the stern higher than the central area. It has two masts made from woven mats of pandanus leaves, though these were later replaced with canvas cloth (''kacha'') in colonial times. It also has fifteen pairs of rowers. The avang resembles the '' vasinian'' boats of the Yami people. Avang are extinct, the last ship was dismantled in 1910.

Outrigger Ship
Outrigger boats are various watercraft featuring one or more lateral support floats known as outriggers, which are fastened to one or both sides of the main hull. They can range from small dugout canoes to large plank-built vessels. Outrigger boats can also vary in their configuration, from the ancestral double-hull configuration (catamarans), to single-outrigger vessels prevalent in the Pacific Islands and Madagascar, to the double-outrigger vessels (trimarans) prevalent in Island Southeast Asia. They are traditionally fitted with Austronesian sails, like the crab claw sails and tanja sails, but in modern times are often fitted with petrol engines. Unlike a single-hulled vessel, an outrigger or double-hull vessel generates stability as a result of the distance between its hulls rather than due to the shape of each individual hull. As such, the hulls of outrigger or double-hull boats are typically longer, narrower and more hydrodynamically efficient than those of single-hul ...

Fisherman's Village
Marconi (formerly called Fisherman's) is an unincorporated community in Marin County, California. It is located on the northeast shore of Tomales Bay, about seven miles (11 km) south-southeast of the village of Tomales, at an elevation of about 70 feet (21 meters) above sea level. Marconi is located in the area of the town of Marshall, California. The inhabitants of an old Native American settlement called "Fisherman's" later shipped seafood from here via railroad. Then, in 1913, the Marconi Wireless Company bought this site to establish a transpacific wireless telegraph station.

Strake
On a vessel's hull, a strake is a longitudinal course of planking or plating which runs from the boat's stempost (at the bows) to the sternpost or transom (at the rear). The garboard strakes are the two immediately adjacent to the keel on each side. The word derives from traditional wooden boat building methods, used in both carvel and clinker construction. In a metal ship, a strake is a course of plating. Construction In small boats strakes may be single continuous pieces of wood. In larger wooden vessels strakes typically comprise several planks which are either scarfed, or butt-jointed and reinforced with a butt block. Where the transverse sections of the vessel's shape are fuller, the strakes are wider; they taper toward the ends. In a riveted steel ship, the strakes were usually lapped and joggled (one strake given projections to match indentions in the one adjoining), but where a smoother finish was sought they might be riveted on a butt strap, though this w ...

Outrigger
An outrigger is a projecting structure on a boat, with specific meaning depending on types of vessel. Outriggers may also refer to legs on a wheeled vehicle that are folded out when it needs stabilization, for example on a crane that lifts heavy loads. Powered vessels and sailboats An outrigger describes any contraposing float rigging beyond the side (gunwale) of a boat to improve the vessel's stability. If a single outrigger is used it is usually but not always windward. The technology was originally developed by the Austronesian people. There are two main types of boats with outriggers: double outriggers (prevalent in maritime Southeast Asia) and single outriggers (prevalent in Madagascar, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia). Multihull ships are also derived from outrigger boats. In an outrigger canoe and in sailboats such as the proa, an outrigger is a thin, long, solid, hull used to stabilise an inherently unstable main hull. The outrigger is positioned rigidly and ...
