The Stitched Ship Project: A Symbol of Maritime History of BHARAT

In this wonderful presentation from this event, held at 'IIT Delhi', we will find out how India has a five thousand years old maritime tradition involving trade, cultural exchange, exploration and naval campaigns on both coasts. These extended across the Indian Ocean and beyond. These voyages were undertaken on ships that were mostly built using a unique “STITCHED” technique. We have textual evidence and accounts from foreign travellers about the intricacies of the ship-building processes and the culture of maritime activities. Together, let's engage in a thoughtful exploration where we will be able to understand what are the reasons for the decline of this technology? What did these ships look like? Are there any present-day surviving samples? In this eye-opening presentation, we aim to comprehensively understand the importance of this project, so much so that the Govt. of India supported this project to revive this ancient culture generously. How is this project materialising? What are the steps? How is the execution? What is the future of the shipbuilding industry in India? To know the answers, don't miss out on this opportunity to gain valuable insights and foster meaningful dialogue.
