Traditional Italian Boats of Sardinia and Venice

"In 2008, I worked in a boatyard on the west coast of Sardinia in the historic city of Alghero repairing a traditional wooden fish boat, and then traveled to Venice and through the rest of Italy and Europe exploring my passion for marine history."

Many thanks to Tony for giving us a chance to hear this brilliant talk and slideshow again, after giving it the first time under very difficult circumstances, during the snowstorm/power outage at the 2008 BoatLaunch Festival.
