INSV Kaundinya: The Ship That Was Stitched, Not Nailed

Can you imagine a ship with no engine and no metal?
INSV Kaundinya is a recreated ancient Indian ship built using 2,000-year-old shipbuilding techniques, where wooden planks were stitched using coir (coconut) rope instead of metal nails.
This unique method made the ship flexible, strong, and perfect for sailing in the Indian Ocean. In 2023, INSV Kaundinya successfully sailed the open sea, proving that ancient Indian maritime science was far ahead of its time.
This video explains how Indians built ships without engines, why stitching was used, and why INSV Kaundinya is a symbol of India’s rich maritime history
