Catch the best weekend plan for the next five months: build a carbass using 16th-century technology from boards and spruce branches and sail on it more than 3,000 kilometers through the oldest trade route to Siberia. As did orientalist artists and professors from a small community of enthusiasts.
The journey across the Arctic Ocean lay through the Mangazeya sea passage. It was used to supply sable for super expensive jackets that were loved by the aristocracy. Well, that’s how they did it 500 years ago, whatever you want.
The vessel was sewn for about two months using ancient technologies – spruce branches were steamed, ropes were made and the boards were fastened with them. Afterwards, an expedition of 24 people froze their noses and hands in cold waters for three months on the way to the ancient city of Mangazeya. And then they brought their fruits to Moscow for an exhibition. We attach a short story from the founder of the trip in the video. It’s better to watch in a blanket, otherwise you’ll catch a cold.
