maurino Posted March 28 #1 Posted March 28 For a few days now I have been working on the model of the bragozzo. It is a self-built sailing ship with the help of Marzari's beautiful monograph on this type of Adriatic boats. The hull is about 52 cm long and is on a scale of 1:24. druxey, wefalck, GrandpaPhil and 6 others 9 Quote

wefalck Posted April 7 #7 Posted April 7 A seldom seen subject here. As I have a soft spot for those boats from the Venice lagoon and I will follow the progress. That book has been sitting on my shelf also for some time now - I think I bought in the bookshop 'Carta di Mare' in Venice or from Gilberto Penzo. The 'Padiglione delle Barche' of the Museo Storico Navale in Venice preserve a couple of Bragozzi from the late 19th/early 20th century: https://www.maritima-et-mechanika.org/maritime/venezia/museonavalevenezia-3.html. I took a few pictures in case one day I also want to build one. Keith Black, JacquesCousteau, BobG and 6 others 9 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux

I love the boats of the Adriatic Sea with the characteristic flat bottom and multicolored sails. I hope that soon you too will be able to build a Venetian sailing ship, the finished model will certainly not go unnoticed druxey, Keith Black, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote
maurino Posted April 7 Author #9 Posted April 7 These are some models of Adriatic Sea boats that I have made. The sails carry the colors of the localities or the owners.... mtaylor, Keith Black, druxey and 8 others 9 1 1 Quote
druxey Posted April 7 #10 Posted April 7 It's so nice to see seldom modeled subjects. The Adriatic ships are very colorful, as are other many other Mediterranean vessels.

Harvey Golden Posted April 7 #11 Posted April 7 Very nice to see this! I, too would like to build a model of one someday (torn between these or a Trabaccolo...). Marzari's book is superb; another is Penzo's, from 1992: (They are very complimentary, with each having things the other doesn't cover; I'd say either stands alone well for model making). Lesser known than Venice of course, is Cessenatica (south of Ravenna): A superb museum there with a Bragosso in the museum, and several outside in the canal: grsjax, mtaylor, yvesvidal and 7 others 10 Quote

Roger Pellett Posted May 15 #19 Posted May 15 (edited) The picture posted below hangs in my living room and was painted, supposedly in Venice, in about 1898 by the relative of a family friend. He gave it to my parents in 1932 as a wedding present. I thought that I would post it here to see if you could identify the type of watercraft. It might be what you are building.
