Azorean Whaleboat — A Legacy with a Future
A research, inventory and heritage valorisation project dedicated to the Azorean whaleboat — one of the most iconic traditional vessels of the Azores and the foremost symbol of the Azorean communities' relationship with the sea.
Developed from an extensive body of documentary research, iconographic collection and bibliographic organisation, the project gave rise to the book Azorean Whaleboat — A Legacy with a Future and also incorporated an exhibition and educational component dedicated to preserving the constructive and cultural memory of the whaleboat.
