Abstract

A sailing replica based on the archaeological remains and structural analysis of the 6th‐century archaic Greek sewn boat Jules‐Verne 9 was built in Marseille as part of the city's European Capital of Culture 2013 programme. Full‐scale reconstruction allowed investigation of specific aspects of the methods used to build a shell‐first, sewn‐plank, and lashed‐frame vessel, as well as learning the gestures and know‐how of the original shipbuilders. The first two seasons of sailing trials, including short journeys in the Bay of Marseille and longer, coast‐hopping expeditions, reflecting the uses of the original vessel have taken place and are reported here.

吉普缇丝号:公元前6世纪古希腊缝接船的复原

基于对公元前6世纪古希腊缝接船朱尔斯—凡尔纳9号船的考古遗迹和结构分析复原而成的帆船 (吉普缇丝号) 在马赛建成, 其是马赛市2013欧洲文化之-项目的一部分。全尺寸复原不仅可考察船-使用的船壳法、缝接船板、捆绑结构建造方法的具体特征, 还能学到原船建造者的姿势与技术诀窍。在前两个-航期中, 包括马赛湾的短线航行和长途的海岸探险, 我们已经开始探索原船的用途, 本文即这两次试航的报告。

Gyptis: una réplica navegable de una embarcación arcaica griega cosida del siglo VI a.C.

Una réplica navegable, basada en los restos arqueológicos y el análisis estructural de la embarcación arcaica griega cosida Jules‐Verne 9, fue construida en Marsella como parte del programa de la ciudad Capital Europea de la Cultura en 2013. La reconstrucción a escala 1‐1 permitió investigar aspectos específicos de los métodos empleados para la construcción a esqueleto previo, traca cosida y cuadernas atadas; así como aprender de las expresiones y el conocimiento de los constructores navales originales. Aquí se reportan las dos primeras pruebas de navegación llevados a cabo. Estas incluyeron viajes breves en la Bahía de Marsella y expediciones de cabotaje más prolongadas que reflejan el uso de la embarcación original.

Gyptis: Sailing Replica of a 6th‐century‐BC Archaic Greek Sewn Boat

Une réplique navigante, fondée sur l’étude des vestiges archéologiques de l’épave grecque archaïque Jules‐Verne 9, a été construite dans le cadre de Marseille capitale européenne de la Culture 2013. La reconstruction, grandeur nature, a permis d’étudier la méthode sur bordé utilisée pour construire ce navire aux bordés cousus et aux membrures ligaturées, mais aussi de retrouver les gestes et les savoir‐faire des charpentiers de l’époque. Les essais en mer des deux premières saisons, comportant des navigations limitées à la baie de Marseille et des voyages le long des côtes, selon les différents usages du navire d'origine, sont présentés ici.
