Boat-boats are boats
This craft is a lot of people of the Soviet andThe post-Soviet era is known for a song popular in its time about Kostya the Sailor. There the sailor-Sonya moors to the shore exactly the fishing boat. But, like many concepts of our native language, this word has several meanings. We will tell more in our next article.
Longboats are boats
As has already been said, first of all it is nottoo large boats. According to many dictionaries and other sources, longboats are self-propelled vessels that were designed for transportation in a roadstead, in a port or harbor. Passengers could be transported, for example, a crew to their ship, and cargo, for example, anchors. In Italian, the word similar consonance means "big boat", as well in the Netherlands. More specifically: barges are multiple-weighted (from 14 to 22) lifeboats, more than 12 meters long, with a displacement of up to five tons, two-masted.
As they say in Odessa ...
In the Odessa tradition, navigation also hastheir names for the boats: yala and longboat, scow and felucca. These names come from different languages of the world. But both in the Black Sea region and in the Azov Sea region they gradually adapted to local conditions. How terms run across from one locality to another, from century to century, can be traced to this concept. Longboats is, one might say, a Dutch invention. In the strong medieval fleets they were the longest high-speed boats under sail on 2 masts, with 22 oars.
In Odessa pre-revolutionary port realitiesLongboats are the main unloading assistants on raids. There were such vessels of much greater volume than the Dutch boats. And if necessary, they could take a load of just under 15 tons on board, then take it to the port and unload it. It was a small fleet in the harbors and port.
Fishermen's
Later, the Black Sea boats, on whichwent fishing. These barges plowed the Black Sea, giving consumers a bull, mullet, sprat. Who from Odessa did not eat fish caught by fishermen. Large processing workshops functioned along the entire Black Sea coast from the Danube to the Straits in Kerch. And hereditary shipbuilders provided the sailors of the Black Sea coast with boats. Of course, in modern conditions of industrial fishing, the barkas lost their significance, but remained in history as the most used vessel at the beginning of the last century.
Criminal jargon
And this term in the language of crime meanshigh fence of the colony, surrounded by barbed wire. In the so-called hair dryer - the language is not for others' ears - it could also mean the attic, and a zone that is forbidden to access.
