La pesca del pesce spada nello stretto di Messina. La pesca del pesce spada ha origini molto antiche, infatti si praticava già nel II secolo a.C.. In origine, non veniva usata alcuna imbarcazione: Polibio ha descritto nelle sue opere questa tradizione, facendo trapelare al lettore lo stupore che lui stesso ha provato guardando per la prima volta un pescatore calabrese, appostarsi sugli scogli ed aspettare con l'arpione il pesce spada. Polibio descrive anche altre tradizioni ed usi come l'utilizzo di torrette e passerelle. Questi usi, tramandati di generazione in generazione, hanno fatto sì che da più di duemila anni la tecnica originaria di pesca nello Stretto di Messina sia rimasta pressoché immutata: avvistare il pesce, inseguirlo o attenderlo, lanciargli un arpione e lottare con lui. Negli ultimi secoli (probabilmente dal Quattrocento) venne introdotta un tipo di imbarcazione di origine araba, chiamata Feluca. La feluca è una barca piccola, lunga dai 5 ai 7 metri, senza chiglia, alla quale veniva richiesta la massima stabilità, con un equipaggio di cinque rematori e un arpioniere. Questi cambiavano a volte disposizione, ad eccezione del quinto uomo che saliva sull'albero maestro per avvistare la preda. Dal 1952 in poi, a causa dello scarso rendimento di questa attività vennero introdotte alcune modifiche come l'introduzione della passerella e del primo motore, queste portarono ad un aumento del ricavo. Gli esemplari moderni (chiamati sempre "Feluche"), sono costituiti da un'alta torre per l'avvistamento ed una passerella per l'arpionaggio; queste due parti sono molto importanti perché, collegate direttamente da funi e tiranti, garantiscono stabilità all'imbarcazione. La barca è dotata anche di due motori per affrontare le correnti dello Stretto. La torre innalzata al centro della barca ha in cima una coffa, dentro alla quale prende posto l'ultimo componente dell'equipaggio, forse il più importante, dato che dà comunicazioni riguardo alla navigazione e alla presenza o meno del pesce. ------Tutte le foto contenute in queste gallerie sono copyright Sergio Bartolomeo e non possono essere utilizzate in alcuna forma senza il consenso dell'autore.

Beautiful. The background enhances the boat and the weaving of the wires.
I remember many memories, for years I crossed the strait and often met the feluccas.
It's a very hard fishing, stand all day at the top of the turret, 20 meters high, to sharpen the view in search of the swordfish or at the end of the board, 30 m long., ready with a firm hand to harpoon it, with the continuous movements of the boat, it takes strong Motivations.
Very good shot. A warm greeting.
Francesco

Hello Francis.
Thank you so much for your beautiful and detailed comment.
I'm very very sorry that you liked this shot and that it awakened pleasant memories.
Yes, I've heard that I'm very hard as a fisherman.
Many hours to go round and round in the same body of water and often come back empty-handed
Thank you and a greeting to the fishermen.

Hello Mauro, photo of an exclusive fish business in the Strait of Messina. Boats and hunting modes that have been handed down for years. In a few months should resume this fishing that takes place only in the summer months.
Thanks a lot for your passage and comment ;-)
Hello :-P
Sergio
