EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of teamwork and traditional water transportation in Burma during the early 20th century. Taken in 1910, the image showcases two large Burmese canoes filled with at least twenty skilled rowers each. The rowers are expertly balanced on the inside foot, with the outside one slipped through a strap on the oar. This unique rowing technique allowed them to utilize both their arms and legs to work each oar, maximizing their power and efficiency. The canoes, which appear to be made of wood, are impressive in size and design, reflecting the innovative engineering solutions of the local people. The rowers, dressed in simple yet functional clothing, are focused and determined as they navigate the water. Their expressions convey a sense of unity and concentration, highlighting the importance of collaboration in their daily lives. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Burmese water transportation and the remarkable skills of its people. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and resourcefulness of the Burmese people, who have relied on these canoes for transportation and livelihood for generations. It is a reminder of the deep connection between humans and water, and the ingenuity and resilience that has allowed communities to thrive in diverse environments.
