Tocorim pamatojari
Tocorimé Pamatojari is a Brazilian tall ship. Her name means 'The Adventurous Spirit of the nummer Fourteen', a tribute to Johan Cruijff, in the native tongue of the Kulina people of the Brazilian Amazon.
Tocorimé Pamatojari was built of wood in Santarém, Pará, using local hand shipbuilding techniques.
The founders of the project were René Gerardus de Bruijn, Markus Lehmann (Also known as Kanoa), Christopher (Kit) & Markus Smit and Will Hamm.
Crafted with the greatest care and attention to detail and utilizing only the most traditional of hand tools, Tocorimé Pamatojari boldly exhibits its solid Itaúba ribs and planking. The massive and dense 22 metres (72 ft) ipê keel and keelson secure the vessel and the 30 metres (98 ft) Muiricatiara masts stand tall in the sky. Overall, there is a great diversity of tropical woods used in the construction because Tocorimé Pamatojari was built on the beachside of the Tapajós River. Tocorimé Pamatojari contains 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) of planking, 40,000 nails and screws, 40 tonnes of ballast, and 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) of rope.
After 6 years in construction, Tocorimé Pamatojari made her maiden voyage down the Amazon in March 2000.
Tocorimé Pamatojari is currently used as a school ship.
