Description
Replica of the historical ship Karaka (KNOWN IN ENGLISH AS AN ARGOSY OR CARRACK) , an extremely important trade vessel that sailed during the era of the Republic of Dubrovnik (1272.-1808.).
According to historical data from the 16th century, the Karaka was one of the largest ships in the world at the time. The Republic of Dubrovnik built nearly 200 ships that sailed all over the world, which gave it the reputation of a nation of masterful builders of large ships � carracks and galleons. Between the 14th and the 17th century the Karaka was, in light of its size and commercial purpose, one of the most important ships of the Mediterranean Sea, and can thus truly be considered the predecessor of all the sailboats developed up to the 19th century.
In order to create an authentic sixteenth-century feel, every possible detail was given particular attention during the construction of the Karaka. In the meantime, many aspects of the ship were adapted to the standards of modern tourism � thus the entire interior of the ship is air-conditioned for the comfort of the passengers. Although Karaka�s foundation is made of steel, its interior is designed as a magnificent historical artifact.
