This work is the product of long-term research, based on historical sources and the invaluable testimonies of the last remaining shipwrights of wooden vessels. It examines the construction techniques, the types and forms of traditional ships, the tools, the types of timbers, the methods of designing and building ships, given that the building of wooden ships in modern Greece was one of the most productive sectors until the early 20th century.
