This boat is for many people of the Soviet andThe post-Soviet era is known for the popular song about Kostya the sailor. There the seaman-Sonia is docking to the shore just a fishing boat. But, like many concepts of our native language, this word has several meanings. We will tell more in our next material.

Boat-boats are boats

As already mentioned, in the first place it is nottoo large boats. According to many dictionaries and other sources, longboats are self-propelled vessels that were intended for transport in the roadstead, port or harbor. They could be transported as passengers, for example, a crew to their ship, as well as loads, for example, anchors. In Italian, the word for a similar consonance means "big boat", also in the Netherlands. More specifically: barges are multi-jet (from 14 to 22) boats, over 12 meters long, with a displacement of up to five tons, two-masted.

As they say in Odessa ...

In the Odessa tradition of navigation there are alsotheir names for boats: yala and longboat, shaland and felucca. These names come from different languages ​​of the world. But both in the Black Sea region and in the Azov Sea have adapted gradually for local conditions. How the terms run from one locality to another, from century to century, can be traced to this concept. Barracks - it can be said, an invention of the Dutch. In strong medieval fleets they were the longest high-speed sailing boats on 2 masts, with 22 oars.

In the Odessa pre-revolutionary port realitiesBarges are the main assistants to unloading on raids. There were such ships of much greater volume than the Dutch boats. And if necessary, they could take a cargo of just under 15 tons on board, then take it to the port and unload. It was a small fleet in harbors and port.

Fishing

Later, Black Sea boats appeared, on whichwent out to fish. These longboats plowed the Black Sea, endowing consumers with bullhead, mullet, tullet. Who from Odessa did not eat fish caught by fishermen. Large reprocessing shops operated throughout the Black Sea coast from the Danube to the strait in Kerch. And the hereditary shipbuilders provided barges for fishermen of the Black Sea coast. Of course, in modern conditions of industrial fishing, the longboat lost its importance, but remained in history as the most used ship 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 someone else's ears - it could also mean an attic and a zone that is forbidden for access.
