3 unusual facts about Trabaccolo


Trabaccolo

On 22 Mar 1813, boats from HMS Havannah captured a large trabaccoló armed with three 9-pounders, and burnt a similar one laden with oil, under the town of Vasto.

On 17 January 1800 she captured the Imperial trabaccolo Divine Providence, which was carrying a cargo of rope from Cesenatico to France.

Today, the Marine Museum of Cesenatico (Museo della Marineria di Cesenatico) has a restored, functioning trabaccoló, the Barchet, which participates in sailing events during the summer.
