Description
The Floating Section
The Floating Section of the Marine Museum is located just in front of the new Ground Section, in the inner and oldest part of the Leonardesque canal harbour where 10 typical Adriatic boats with their coloured lugsails, decorated with the symbols of the fishers’ families, and the ancient propitiatory decorations.A visit to the wide hold and cabins of the big trabaccolo (transport lugger) “Giovanni Pascoli” gives the idea of the harsh life of fishers.During Christmas holidays, the Floating Section becomes a picturesque crib with life-size fishers’ statues on the boats.Thanks also to the Marine Museum of Cesenatico, an organization called “Mariegola” was born some years ago in Romagna ports; this ancient word meaning “brotherhood” currently represents an organization coordinating the summer activity of the traditional boats with sails in the third and the working ones, dealing with summer events and historic sailing races. Trabaccolo “Barchet” and bragozzo “Raffaele", the sailing boats of the Marine Museum of Cesenatico, take part to these events and, thanks to their size, they are the flagships of the Romagna boats’ fleet.Following the example of the Marine Museum, many private citizens have restores their small boats, that can be now seen in the Canal Harbour.
