Watercraft, such as logboats and rafts, are one of the earliest and highly significant human inventions. Facilitated transportation over water has greatly contributed to the development of trade, warfare, travel, and other activities. There are numerous sites around the world containing early watercraft remains, leading to the need for an application that would allow anyone to access data from these sites anytime and anywhere. In 2015, Bojan Kastelic implemented the EarlyWatercraft.org application using the Arches 3.0 platform. However, due to subsequent versions, it is no longer functional. My task was to update the logboat database to the latest version of Arches, specifically version 7.4 After the description of features of the Arches 7.4 platform the implementation of the database in this environment is presented.
