Lattakia, The Historical Scientific Society organized a cultural lecture entitled 'Maritime Heritage in the Syrian Coast', by researcher Taha al-Zozo at the Society's headquarters in Jableh city. In his lecture, al-Zozo said that almost a century ago, seaboates were based on oars that made of oak or cedar, and the small ones called sanbak and felucca, and the large boats were used to transport passengers and goods from Jabelh city to other coastal cities, as well as for fishing and hiking. Al-Zozo indicated to some of the traditions, customs, terminology, and principles of the profession related to sailors, as the Scavenging is the launching of a new boat into the sea, where this is celebrated and bread is distributed free to people. He also pointed out some of the vocabulary and symbols that the captain of the boat uses with the sailors, such as the word 'hola,' which means go forward and (Siya) headed back. He affirmed that the orders of the captain of the ship were actually played out to the letter and not discussed. Al-Zozo said that the sailors relied on certain indicators to know the weather conditions, noting that the entire fishing process was innately legal in nature, and the sailors did not believe in catching small fish or overfishing.
