The navy room


This is a room dedicated to the navigation and fishing world, and it aims to make visitors aware of the real knowledge and skills of sailors, fishermen and shipwrights. At the centre of the room there is the prow of a restored Apulian gozzo, containing a log, that is a navigation tool used by mariners to estimate the speed of a vessel through water, a block, and some fishing nets. The boat is surrounded by various maritime work areas: a "shipwright's corner", with his work tools, such as planes, saws, a level and a hand drill; there is also a navigation corner, with an antique figurehead, some navigation lights, nautical compasses, anchors of different sizes, a rudder and a barometer; in the fishing corner there is a lampara, a water bottle, an overalls and an oar.
