The original "taka"s were used to be built in Karadeniz (Black Sea) and were used for transporting onion, soil, pebbles and burden. Nowadays those old takas are used only for touristic purposes. The pole should be bent in order to pass under the bridges, my model has this original feature, too. I have provided the schematics of this model from Gemiseverler ve Modelciler Derneği (Ship Modelists Association). Please click here to see the big picture of the model. (56 K)
