The Greek edition of Euronews, the pan-European television news network, recently featured the story of the Lambousa boat.
The Lambousa is fishing trawler built in Piraeus in 1955 and for half a century it plowed the Cypriot seas. After years of neglect, the Limassol Municipality decided to preserve it and make it a floating museum of fishing tradition.
In collaboration with Cyprus University of Technology, the Limassol municipality organized its complete repair and holistic digitization, recording and documentation through photogrammetry and scanning, and now the historic vessel is open to visitors again in Limassol.
The 3D model of the boat was made available as open access resource for use and reuse by the Cyprus University of Technology in the context of EUreka3D project and is accessible in Europeana: https://www.europeana.eu/en/item/1268/21_15123_DKf8oUnT
