"Karavoskaro" (Schooner)

  A type of a Greek vessel, for some ones with Italian roots and for others with influences from the American schooners. Even so these vessels used by the Greeks islanders for almost two centuries The main characteristic was the two carved parts of the cutwater (from a side view )  but also the continuity of the vessel above the sternpost, in a carved stern. That caused the necessary of a separate contraction of the stern and then the connection with the rest vessel. These characteristics was not  required as the karavoskaro was the vessel that had the most modifications depending  on the ship owner and the use of it.So someone could see “Karavoskaro” with “Varkala’s” cutwater and “Karavoskaro” stern, “Trehantiri” cutwater and “karavoskaro”stern and so on. Its length was about the 150-170 feet, it was constructed for any kind of purpose, as its sail state.
