On the ground floor, a variety of detailed scale models of typical local boats, from the classic burcio to Venetian caorline, can be seen, giving insight into the common "flat-bottomed" structure suitable for sailing in shallow waters.
In the twentieth century, the burcio was the most widely used boat in the Veneto, due to its substantial carrying capacity and adaptability to motorization.
A 1:1 section of the main section of a burcio can be seen on the ceiling, highlighting the various types of wood used in its construction.
