UNESCO: List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding - 2025 URL: https://ich.unesco.org/en/USL/02307 Description : Landships are community-based cultural groups known for their social structure, performances and shared traditions. They are organized like naval ships, with members holding ranks such as Lord High Admiral, Commander and Kit Inspector. Members use nautical terms with localized meanings to reflect life challenges and achievements. Landships meet at a place called the ‘dock’, where they hold gatherings known as ‘dock nights’ for social interaction and the sharing of traditions. Their performances during these gatherings are a blend of naval drills and African cultural elements, accompanied by music and dances.
