Fishing Boats from Different Countries (Barcelona Museum)

Fishing has long been one of the main occupations of the inhabitants of the Mediterranean coast. In one of the halls of the Barcelona Maritime Museum, there is an exhibition of fishing boats.

Boats of the Jábega type were common from Portugal to Catalonia and were intended for netting. This type of vessel appeared during the Moorish rule and its name comes from the Arabic word for "net", "seine". Boats are distinguished by bright coloring, individual for each fisherman. The museum presents the boat Maria del Carmen, made in 1926.
