EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a 19th century model of a Hokl or Holke, a traditional boat widely used in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages. The model, now housed in the Museum of History and Navigation in Riga, Latvia, offers a glimpse into the maritime past of the Baltic region during the 15th and 16th centuries. The Hokl or Holke was a versatile vessel, used primarily for transportation of goods and people across the vast waterways of Northern Europe. Its distinctive design, featuring a narrow hull and a single mast, allowed it to navigate the shallow waters and narrow inlets of the region with ease. The Middle Ages were a period of significant advancements in navigation technology, with the development of more accurate maps, the use of the magnetic compass, and the establishment of regular shipping routes. The Hokl or Holke was an essential part of this maritime revolution, enabling the exchange of goods and ideas between the various republics and kingdoms of Northern Europe. Despite its historical significance, the Hokl or Holke is often overshadowed by more famous vessels of the era, such as the caravels of the Atlantic trade routes. This model, however, serves as a reminder of the vital role that such vessels played in the maritime history of Northern Europe during the Middle Ages.
