This unit, which was being built during the festival, was a combination of sail and paddle boat. Project of this unit was based on a traditional assistant fishing boat and adapted for amateur boatbuilding and recreational use afterwards. Exhibition of different small wooden boat types displayed canoes, sea kayaks, recreational kayaks, and paddle boats. There was also a chance to try the boats on the water of Motlawa river. Everyone, who decided to take a chance, was trained by professional instructor first. Traditional Boatbuilding Show boatbuilders from Germany, Sweden and Poland continued their work on the traditional wooden boat for three days. Participants of the festival were able to follow the progress in construction works and traditional boatbuilding techniques. The boat had already been partly built during the Hanse Sail in Rostock. It was transported to Gdansk especially for European Maritime Day 2011. But also other activities were performed during the event, such as making traditional sailing lines, saturating sails with natural preservatives, burning-in specially prepared boatbuilding wood.

Page 4 Project News Following-Up SeaSide On June 21, 2011, key partners of the project gathered together in Karlskrona to think about how to follow-up work on the SeaSide achievements. The brainstorming on new project ideas has been very thriving. Especially, three ideas with huge potential to become realized in Thanks To All! future projects have been discussed much more in detail. As in SeaSide, the focus of the ideas is laid on preservation of maritime heritage, communicating maritime history and training the museum staff. These are mainly addressed to youngsters as well as school teachers to be educated. The first project idea is on creating a network of boatbuilding schools and on teachers training boatbuilders on methodology to impart boatbuilding knowledge to youngsters properly. Also an encyclopedia on boatbuilding could be developed. The second idea is dedicated to educate the museum staff in teaching techniques to be able to train teachers on topics related to maritime history. Therefore staff exchanges could be realized but also language trainings to be able to deal with youngsters from abroad. And finally, the idea of performing youth exchanges between Karlskrona, Gdansk and Rostock according to the motto Follow the Iron Curtain has been discussed. Youth could learn from one another and tolerate each other by sailing a ship on their own and having seminars on selected topics on maritime history or traditional boatbuilding in a museum. After almost 4 years of strong cooperation in SeaSide including its preparation phase the project has come to an end. But however, its achievements and work will still be preserved and continued in the future. Thanks to the project and its partners, to make these excellent outcomes possible.
