Kurenas SÜD.1 is a sailing exhibit of the Lithuanian Sea Museum, a replica of a traditional fishermen boat – kurenas -  built on a site in the yard of the ethnographic fisherman‘s farmstead of the Museum during 2000-2001. The replica SÜD 1 was built according to the sample of an original kurenas, using authentic methods and materials.  Naturally bending oak wood was used for making the frame of the boat, the bottom was made of pine, while the sides of the boat were made of oak planks. Smith-made needs and pins join and stitch the assembling parts of kurenas. The boat has two masts for the main and the small sail, and a staysail in the fore. Kurenas also has stern post and stern post with four frames and is equipped with two drop keels,. The top of the mast is decorated with a weathervane. The name of the boat SÜD.1 means that it was the first boat built in the Süderspitze village.

Lithuanian Sea Museum, which consists of Aquarium, Navigation History Exhibitions, Dolphinarium, Baltic Sea Animal Rehabilitation Centre, and Dolphin Assisted Therapy Centre, is situated on the Curonian Spit. To get to us, take a passenger ferry from Old Ferry Terminal or vehicle ferry from New Ferry Terminal (www.keltas.lt), or a private boat to cross the Curonian Lagoon.


We strongly recommend arriving to Smiltynė by passenger ferry from Old Ferry Terminal (Danės Str. 1, Klaipėda) during summer season peak and especially on rainy days. Private boats going from the Dane River to the Dolphinarium is an option, as well.
The distance from the passenger ferry to the Lithuanian Sea Museum is 1,8 kilometre (20 minutes on foot). You can also take a shuttle train (service is charged), which goes according to the ferry timetable. 


To arrive to the Museum by car, take a New Ferry Terminal (Nemuno Str. 8, Klaipėda). The distance from the vehicle ferry to the Museum is 8 kilometres. Note, that New Ferry Terminal is often jammed during summer season peak and all the parking lots are overcrowded in Smiltynė.


Please, be aware, that tickets to a dolphin performance are not refunded or exchanged, so we strongly recommend to estimate the time of arrival. We advise to skip queues and buy tickets online www.ljm.lt having arrived at the Museum. Visitors coming from Neringa resorts should consider the warning, as well.
