木船维修保养的传统工艺:燂船

Traditional Ship Maintenance and Repairing Technology:TanChuan(Breaming)

为抵御船蛆等对木船的危害,使木船能够更加安全和有效地使用,我国沿海船民在实践中较早使用并普遍采用了燂船的做法。燂船,也常被称为烤船,是木船对所受海洋附着与钻孔生物污损状况检查及例行保养维修的传统工艺。根据对田野调查与文献记录等资料的分析可知,在不同的历史时期,各地区在燂船的具体做法上大体一致,但在主要环节、时间频率等方面呈现出一些差异。总之,燂船的具体做法,与各地的自然水域条件、气候温度以及木船的品质及实际使用情况等因素密切相关。

In order to resist the harm of Teredo and make wooden ships more safely and effectively, China’s coastal boaters earlier use TanChuan(Breaming), which also named KaoChuan. It is a traditional technology for wooden ships to inspect the fouling status of marine growth boring organisms and carry out routine maintenance and repairing. Based on field investigation and Literatures, In different historical periods, The regions are basically same in the specific practices, but also different in main operational steps,time and frequency. In short, specific practice of TanChuan is closely related to the natural water conditions, climate temperature and wooden quality and actual usage etc.
