What do lakes that are separated by up to 9,500km have in common? These are Lake Lugu, Lake Suwa,... more What do lakes that are separated by up to 9,500km have in common? These are Lake Lugu, Lake Suwa, Lake Ohrid and the Ljubljanica River Basin. It is impossible to imagine what could bring these together, since different cultures were living in the Japanese ”Alps", the Mosuo people in China and on the other side in the Balkans and the foothills of the Alps? However, there is a field of study where we have a mentality that can be much closer than it appears. There are adamant similarities between four very common farm boat building traditions based on the logboat. These are the expanded logboat, which are, at least of traditional origin in the 'Notranjski drévak' (ang. Notranjska 'treeboat') from the Ljubljanica River Basin, which most likely evolved entirely indigenously in the region. The most convincing similarity is in the design features and parts of the boats. The backbone consists of chine-girders with a C or L cross-section and inserted bottom planks. The combination of bow and stern could be slightly different. All boats are very similar in width and length. Such a construction provides excellent stability and the boat is almost impossible to overturn. These were farming boats intended for local activities, such as cargo transportation, social life, fishing and hunting. It might be that the tradition for all four boats would be unique and they all arise from one boat-building tradition. However, at least for 'Notranjski drévak', we can assume that the origin lies in the Celtic-Roman shipbuilding tradition that arose in the area of the basin of the Ljubljanica and Kupa Rivers.
