Tartana
A tartana is a type of Mediterranean sailing vessel used for both fishing and transportation. It typically has a single mast with a lateen sail, and a flat bottom for easy beaching. Tartanas were commonly used in the 18th and 19th centuries along the coasts of Spain, Italy, and Malta. They were known for their versatility and ability to navigate shallow waters, making them ideal for coastal trade and fishing operations.
