O que este vídeo aborda
The *Tokorimé* is a 29-meter, 140-ton replica of an 18th-century Portuguese fishing vessel, originally constructed in 1994 in the Amazon rainforest using traditional hand tools and local timber.10:28 The vessel features a 650-square-meter sail plan and relies on manual labor for sail handling, requiring a coordinated crew to hoist sails in rhythm, often accompanied by traditional sea shanties.4:24 While the boat currently requires significant maintenance, including mast repairs, it remains a functional example of historical naval architecture.1:36 The hull construction utilized an *axé*—a traditional hand-carving tool—rather than modern power sanders, leaving distinct tool marks on the timber.15:59 The vessel is powered by a Mercedes 320 engine, though plans exist to transition to an all-electric, lithium-battery-powered system to improve sustainability and reduce the need for heavy lead and steel ballast.8:12 The boat accommodates up to 25 crew members and maintains a historical aesthetic, including cotton sails and rigging, while serving as a practical study in experimental maritime archaeology.14:58
