The shipwrights of Pasaia, Mutriku, and Lekeitio have built whaling ketches, herring busses, and trans-Atlantic cargo carriers for foreign clients since the thirteenth century. The Navarrese Crown charters our arsenals to standardize hull designs based on local oak, Pyrenean iron fittings, and construction methods that allow rapid replacement of damaged vessels. With so many yards at work, Navarre alone among the Iberian Crowns can launch fully equipped war squadrons within a single season of warning.
