Gajeta Falkuša is not just a fascinating boat; it represents the vessel of the collective memory of an island community. It embodies the deep-sea fishermen, their customs, dedication, solidarity, stories, traditional fishing food, families, and forgotten skills. Gajeta Falkuša represents the art of survival, struggle, and community, so it’s no wonder that, according to the decision of the Ministry of Culture, ‘The Experience of Gajeta Falkuša’ encompasses folk values ​​related to the Komiza falkuša, the skill of construction, navigation, sailing, fishing, and language – possessing the characteristics of intangible cultural heritage.
