Summary

Founded in 1981, the Itsas Begia association works to save and value the maritime patrimony of Lapurdi, by means of various activities (identification, research, conservation or reproduction of elements of interest for the heritage,ship modelling, diffusion, etc.). It is especially committed to the protection of the knowledge and savoir-faire of local naval construction in the 20th century. The proposals go from the preservation of the immediate (photographs, drawings of ships), of the voluminous (ships of interest for the heritage, from boats to the 18-metre tuna-fishing ships), and of the impalpable (testimonies from carpenter, etc.) to the reproduction of elements that have almost or completely disappeared (boats, large rowing boats from Biskaia).
