Rethink Tallship Restoration 2002-2017

Presented by Fregatten Jylland

Ebeltoft will host an international conference on conserving the old maritime crafts, investigating new approaches and methodologies for the preservation of the maritime heritage and historic vessels. This conference responds to the results and ideas of the European Maritime Heritage Conference in Barcelona in 2001, which resulted in the Barcelona Charter of 2003 that now sets the guidelines for maritime conservation.

Over the last 15 years practical experience and technological achievements have offered new approaches and insights, and by sharing experiences and visions, we have become even better at protecting traditional ships both as works of art and historical sources.

Nevertheless, the craft of shipbuilding and this shared knowledge is becoming endangered, just as the historic vessels. The Aarhus 2017 conference will propose a rescue plan for the knowledge and expertise that these crafts represent and the European history they embody.
