Old schooner-rigged trabaccolo "IL Nuovo Trionfo", moored at the Dogana da Mar at the entrance to the Grand Canal, Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy
“Il Nuovo Trionfo” has the shape of a typical Romagna trabaccolo. She was built in Cesenatico in 1926, and until World War II she was owned by the shipyard in which she was built. During WWII she was operated by the Italian Navy, and she was used for carrying cargo and supplies to Albania - under sail only! After the war she was sold to new owners in Grado, and she had her first 12 HP engine installed. She was then used in estuaries for digging up sand for building materials. In 1970 a new owner - Mr. Hugo Herrmann from Vienna - bought her, and in 1973 - after three years of restoration during which “Il Nuovo Trionfo” was given back the appearance of a trabaccolo from around 1900 - Mr. Herrmann started up a charter business which took him and his ship thousands of miles along the Adriatic, Greek and Turkish coasts. In 2008 she was purchased by a Venetian group to restore and reuse her for cultural activities, training and leisure in the Venice lagoon and in the Upper Adriatic and as a school ship and / or representative of the city. The first part of the conservative restoration was completed in March 2012 in order to enable the vessel to face the sea and the planned activities in safe conditions. Its mooring is in Punta della Dogana, Venice. “Il Nuovo Trionfo” is again ploughing the traditional waters of the trabaccolo.
