D ENIS ITXASO: NEW FORMULAS FOR A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BASQUE MARITIME HERITAGE

  Summary
  There has not enough attention for sustainable development in recent years. This might surprise           Gastronomy as an                Woodworking
  the audience, as it consists of people to whom it is obvious that maritime heritage is relevant for       entrance to other
  society.                                                                                                  areas of the bask
                                                                                                                 country                                      Iron industry
  The recent years have seen relevant projects, but maritime heritage has been lacking behind. We
  need complex, both the tangible and intangible projects. To manage this complexity choosing the
  right role is paramount and new plans and (management) tools are needed.
                                                                                                                 Influx tourism,
  A new foundation was started: maritime heritage focused with as a main goal to work in the field              connecting areas                          Industry
  of wood, timber, and forestry. Tasks are shared with the iron and steel industry where possible and
  necessary. More recently an old shipbuilding facility was acquired, Pasaia should be the core of
  these construction projects.
                                                                                                                           Alboala                New projects
  To make this sustainable, tourism is also important, an increase in visitors is needed, also in new
  areas. Gastronomy is already known Basque characteristic but we would like to use that strength to                        Foundation: structural support
  introduce tourist intro other areas (e.g. cider making, maritime history). Additional attraction
  points are more than welcome and as such Alboaloa is a new contribution to the region.

  Projects that combine different areas are crucial. Alboala feautres this characteristic but the newly
  created foundation is needed to support this in a structural manner. It also is the link between
                                                                                                                          Rediscovering
  volunteers, companies and (governmental) institutions. This way we can look beyond projects and

G ERARD MARTI: WHAT MEANS A MUSEUM FOR SHIP OWNERS

    Summary
    In the Catalonian coasts there is only very level local overlap between preservation organisations
    and museums. Within this situation we are trying to find new ways to preserve maritime heritage.
    The obvious limitation is that museums are fixed in place, not mobile. So linking up with dynamic
    heritage is not their expertise.

    The Barcelona Martime museum was the instigator of this heritage foundation. The Catalonian
    federation brings together the different museums (14 of them) and the different associations (12 of
    them) together they make up the federation. Within this project the museums are not exclusively
    maritime, also museums who specialise in related fields joined up. The associations (100 boats) are
    mainly sailors and fisherman, and the ships are used for activities, not solely sailing.

    The foundation tries to connect the different worlds, combines the strengths of both and uses this
    to organize new events and tries to attract a larger audience for the sake of preservation.

M ATHILDE HOJRUP: A STORY FROM DENMARK, SUSTAINABLE MARITIME HERITAGE

 Summary
 The West-and North coats of Jutland, Denmark have had a long history of fishing and maritime
 trade with wooden boats landing at the beaches, but with the construction of big harbours, the
 complex fishing management systems and in 2007 the introduction of Individual Transferable
 Quota, the beach-based, small-scale fishing have decreased rapidly, leaving former landing places
 empty, and costal communities without an essential industry. With the small-scale fishing
 disappearing, the special craftsmanship of building the traditional clinker, wooden boats was
 vanishing too, as well as the practice of landing at the beach. Therefore, in the village Slettestrand,
 locals gathered resources to establish a costal, cultural heritage centre, an active wooden boat
 building yard with two boat builders and apprentices, the rebuildings of 5 traditional fishing boats
 and several dinghies, all of which are actively used on an everyday basis for fishing and sailing by
 members of the Han Herred Havbåde organization.

 The money was raised partly from three Danish foundations, who each had their own specific
 priority; one was interested in the education of new boat builders. Another was mainly interested
                                                                                                                                    Han Herred Havbåde

 was rooted in the local community, where the fishermen of the neighboring village needed
 qualified boat builders. The municipality, Jammerbugt, contributed to the project as they saw how
 it would support tourism in the area, the hotels there, and be an identity marker for the
 municipality. It is not a museum, but an active organization creating the possibilities for local

PÁDRAIG O’DUINNIN: REVITALIZING THE COMMUNITY BY MARITIME HERITAGE

 Summary
 Meitheal Mara means working of the sea, in the Gaelic language. Cork is the centre of the work, a city build on marsh where the centre is surrounded by water that ishard
 to navigate. Currently the water is being mapped. Because it is hard to sail, the waterways are navigated by light boats that are lying on top of the water. This is a skill that is
 hard to master. For this some old boats are used that were preserved, and new ones are being crafted.

 This approach really connects for several reasons. The main two are that the people love both the building of the ships and the sailing of the water. The group that has been
 attracted to this is very diverse, and that has become on of the greatest assets of the undertaking. People from mixed background (bad backgrounds, different countries,
 disabilities, etc.) are all included in the community.

 The boats have many usages, some even become art projects. However, the core remains the building of the boat. We have worked together with divided communities as
 “peace work”. Personal differences become irrelevant in the process of building a boat, all have to work together. Bringing in people with different skills, ethos of inclusivity:
 enthusiastic people know best what they want to do.

 If you have a ship you also have a problem. Rules are there for safety but they can also be a barrier.        1. Revision of the EU-Passenger-Directive: Better definitions for sailing
 How do we make an old ship safe without destroying it’s identity? Positive national rules are                    ships and traditional vessels
 needed: adapted definition traditional ships/replica’s. This requires a detailed technical catalogue          2. MOU: New approach
 for old ships and detailed manning rules. Equivalent measures of safety (evacuation
 measures/surveilance/etc.) need to be determined to create more flexibility.                                  3. IMO: Chapter for traditional vessels in SOLAS (together with
                                                                                                                  ICMM/IHTS)
 How do international rules collide? How does the EU treaty relate to SOLAS? Rules: we talk mostly
                                                                                                               4. Chapter 19 (inland waterways)
 about what kind of ships are exempt for what kind of rules.
 The following rules superced national rules:
 ▪ Solas (IMO) international voyages
         ▪ Sailing ships (not propelled by mechanical means) and wooden boats are exempt
         ▪ No exemption for traditional ships
 ▪ EU-passenger-ship-directive (national voyages in the EU)
         ▪ Wooden ships, sailing ships, traditional passengers ships, replica’s and small ships
             (below 25 metres) are exempt
 ▪ EU-rules for domestic traditional shops

A NDER LASA: THE USE OF COMPLEMENTARY MEASURES TO ACHIEVE STANDARD SAFETY REGULATIONS

  Summary
  Goal is recreating the voyage with the San Juan to Redbay. In order to this the original way there
  can be no electricity, not comfort, no modern communication systems or modern navigation
  systems. A qualified crew supplemented with researchers will sail the ship.

  This presents a problem as it is not a passenger ship, nor a tourist ship, and very difficult to fit it
  into the current system of safety rules and exemptions. Even when it is exempted it is not really
  clear what rules should be followed instead.

  For this reason complementary safety rules are introduced. We are developing a simplified system
  of certification (a secondary goal for the San Juan project, as a system like this can be reused in
  similar enterprises.). A support boat will carry life rafts and secondary life support, while the San
  Juan will carry the life saving equipment.

  San Juan will have radio transponders, emergency transponders but no navigation. No electricity
  but portable navigation lights, all solar charged. Finally firefighting is an issues, as no structural
  protection is possible but the ship will have battery powered fire alarms

M AIDER KORO MARÃNA: WORLD HERITAGE

 Summary
 Unesco deals with “regular” heritage but also intangible heritage. Unesco is the only department of the UN that deals with
 cultural heritage. There always has been a great emphasis on cultural heritage, starting with large objects. This culture is
 seen as an universal value that belongs to humanity

 Unesco activities had an effect on local legislation, which resulted in the renowned world heritage sites list. This approach
 has shortfalls, because it is really linked to buildings and sites but didn’t reflect the culture itself. In order to compensate for
 this shortcoming initiatives were formed to protect cultural heritage.

 New international legal instruments are developed to protect the fast changing vulnerable intangible heritage. This started
 with a large focus on the southern hemisphere countries. This new convention rectified previous mistakes, and created new
 possibilities.

 Currently Unesco tries to maintain a representative list of both tangible and intangible heritage that are under protection.
 The lists try to be representative, but are depended on individual countries. Everything on the list needs to be threatened:
 arts, dance, knowledge, social rituals, craft techniques.

 But a list is one thing, it is very hard to safeguard intangible heritage: it cannot be put into a museum. Not protecting but
 safeguarding might be the actual word approach we prefer, we don’t want to fossilize heritage. Recommended techniques:
     ▪ Transmitting from generation to generation
     ▪ Involve communities are crucial
     ▪ Couple it to local development and local identity
     ▪ Has to go hand in hand with protection of human rights
     ▪ Community has to be part of the candidature

 People are the key, without the people the instruments are just instruments. People should use to them to create things
 (not just states/countries).

M ERETE ETTRUP: NORDIC CLINKER BOAT TRADITIONS ON UNESCO’S LIST OF THE INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF HUMANITY

   Summary
   The Clincker boat tradition started more than 1000 years ago with the vikings. It is very common in
   the Norwegian tradition of boatbuilding. A tradition that did of the boatbuilding that did not
   overlap with country boarders. While the building practices didn’t spread, the ships themselves
   did, fromIceland, Denmark to the Faroer islands.

   The more activities you have, the more relationships you have with the government the easier it
   becomes to make links. We did so by adhering to the following points:
   • Take the necessary measures to ensure the protection.
   • Mapping with the participation of communities, groups and relevant non-governmental
     organizations.
   • Creating one or more inventories.
   • Adopt a general policy, promoting / establishing institutions, educational institutions, training
     programs, non-formal forms of knowledge dissemination etc.
   • Ensure the widest possible participation of communities

                                                                                                         Werner Karrasch © The Viking Ship Museum, Denmark.

  VA CALDERON: CULTURAL TOURISM AND CRAFTMANSHOP

 Summary
 Responsible for tourism in the region. Also includes job development and industrial promotion etc.
 This also includes working on the bask language. We want to give advise on how local heritage can
 and should be managed.

 There is a distinct difference between tourism and heritage, but also an overlap that can be used.
 We try to diversify and find new audiences: how do we bring audiences, culture and tourism
 together.

 ▪   Three projects:
       ▪ 1999: accommodation was lacking, so infrastructure needs to be build so to make it
            easier for tourist to spend time here. Also supporting local projects
       ▪ Socialization and the use of resources: we have worked on different resources
            analysed. Eg. The Basque language
       ▪ Support of the stakeholders in theory and practice

 We have a lot of data from analyzing projects in a different way in the recent years; profiles of
 visitors, number of visitors, etc. Now we can also make statements on the return on investment:
 measuring how many people learned things. Other indicators we use are the following
         ▪ Number of people hired
         ▪ Volunteers engaged etc.
         ▪ Financial results
         ▪ Media impact

                                                                                                      [1/1]
