2. Historical Background

The Trabaccolo is a traditional Adriatic sailing vessel, typically up to 30 meters long, 6 meters wide, and capable of carrying 60–200 tons of cargo.
Its origins trace back to the ancient navis rotunda, round-hulled merchant boats designed for safe transport of goods.
These ships were valued for:

• Exceptional stability at sea
• Easy handling and maintenance
• Versatility across cargo transport, fishing, coastal trade
• Distinctive broad hull and two-mast rigging

The name comes from the Arabic word “tabaquah” meaning roof, referring to the vessel’s rounded shape.
