Ethnographic Fisherman's Manor

Ethnographic fishing estate is part of the Klaipeda Maritime Museum. This is a wooden house built more than a hundred years ago and in which the whole life of fishermen of those times is recreated to the smallest detail. The house is real, it really lived a family of fisherman. However, in the 80s, he suffered greatly from ice and people were relocated from there. Then the building was restored and made an ethnographic museum.

In the original version, it was an ordinary house, then another exactly the same one was attached to it. This did not violate any canons, since fishermen often had to add new rooms to their homes, where their children and their families lived. The organizers of the museum literally bit by bit restored the yard territory of the estate. With the help of historical records, the western part of this residential building was returned to its original appearance, as well as the old well.

Inside the house to the left of the entrance is a kitchen with a stove lined with white tiles, and an oven in which bread was baked. Behind the kitchen is a small room - "magia stuba", then the second room - "diza stuba". Another room is located opposite the kitchen. In all the rooms there is furniture - the one that could well be if the fishermen lived in the house. There are four real fishing boats on the beach.

There is also a boat built by local fisherman Gintaras Paulenis. He was in love with the sea and built his own ship using ancient drawings of Newfoundland ships. On June 28, 1994, he launched it and set sail from Klaipeda, dreaming of becoming the first Lithuanian to cross the Baltic Sea in an ancient ship. On July 14, Paulenis sailed to Sweden. Inspired by the first success, he went on. He was not destined to finish his journey. In October of the same year, the remains of his ship washed ashore Nida. Ten days later, the body of the conqueror of the sea was found. According to one version, the ship was caught in a severe storm.
