Stanka Amadeo fondly reminisces about the traditional wooden shipbuilding in Korčula. She recalls tales of skilled workers traveling to different countries, engaging in the meticulous art of caulking. Life during that era was vivid, with bustling activity and distinct scents in the city. A wooden crate, initially used for transporting fish, also served as a storage for their valuable tools. It was an era that engaged all our senses, where the city's sights, sounds, and smells were truly unique.
