In this episode of Much More Than Carpentry, I travel to the Albaola shipyard to talk with Xabier Agote, the man who has dedicated a large part of his life to reviving a craft that almost disappeared: traditional boatbuilding. We discuss the incredible story of the San Juan, a 16th-century Basque whaling galleon sunk in Canada and considered one of the most important naval archaeological finds in the world. We discover how a 500-year-old ship can be reconstructed from archaeological remains, how the trees were selected for each piece of the ship, and what knowledge they had to recover to make it possible. We also talk about craftsmanship, knowledge transfer, traditional trades, training, cultural heritage, and the future of manual labor in an age dominated by technology. A fascinating conversation about wood, history, the sea, and the determination needed to dedicate an entire life to a seemingly impossible project.
