"Venus", a Shetland fourareen (with base)

Built in 1898 on [Foula](http://tinyurl.com/y6hgdtlb), one of the most remote islands in the Shetland archipelago, this traditional fishing vessel (known in the Shetland as a 'fourareen') was made from pieces of driftwood. The crofter who built "Venus" used boat building techniques that had been passed down from generation to generation and were similar to those used by Vikings on their Longboats. "Venus" would have been used by the crofter to catch fish and collect flotsam and jetsam from the sea. In 1964 it was bought by Paul Earling Johnstone who gave it a deck and tiny cabin and a Bermudan yawl rig, converting it into a yacht. He used it for long distance ocean sailing (including a single-handed trip across the Atlantic in 1965) and it remained in storage in Savannah until 1982, when it became part of the collections of the [Scottish Maritime Museum.](http://www.scottishmaritimemuseum.org/) Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab这艘传统渔船于1898年在设得兰群岛最偏远的岛屿之一[富拉岛（Foula）](http://tinyurl.com/y6hgdtlb)建成，该船在设得兰地区被称作‘fourareen’，船体由漂流木拼接而成。建造“维纳斯号”的佃农沿用了代代相传的造船技艺，该技艺与维京长船（Longboats）所使用的造船技术极为相似。“维纳斯号”原本用于该佃农出海捕鱼，并收集海上漂浮物与冲岸残骸。1964年，保罗·厄林·约翰斯顿（Paul Earling Johnstone）购得该船，为其加装了甲板与小型舱室，并换装百慕大式斜桁纵帆装置（Bermudan yawl rig），将其改造为游艇。他曾驾驶该船进行远洋航行（包括1965年的单人横渡大西洋之旅），此后该船一直存放于萨凡纳（Savannah），直至1982年被纳入[苏格兰海事博物馆（Scottish Maritime Museum）](http://www.scottishmaritimemuseum.org/)的馆藏。数据来源：Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
