Abstract

For the first time in the last century,the article describes the main varieties of traditional Pomeranian carbases of the Karelian, Pomeranian and Summer shores of the middle of the XIX —beginning of the XXI centuries. They included a whole line of navigational facilities from completely seaworthy, which made it possible to reach Novaya Zemlya and Svalbard, to the smallest coastal voyages. Carbases had both structural features common to all of them, and specific ones related to the use for a specific fishery, transport specification, less often shipping features off their own shores. Traditions developed during the construction and use of carbases by pomors had a significant impact on boat building within the continental territories connected with the White Sea by large rivers.
