EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of large trading canoes, expertly fitted with lateen sails, gracefully moored along the shores of Papua New Guinea in 1911. The canoes, a vital means of transportation and trade in the Pacific region, were meticulously crafted from local materials such as wood and sails made from the bark of the papaya tree. Historically, these canoes played a pivotal role in the exchange of goods between different communities in Papua New Guinea and neighboring islands. They were used to transport a wide range of items, including foodstuffs, precious woods, shells, and other valuables. The lateen sails, which were made from the sails of European trading vessels that had been abandoned or lost at sea, allowed the canoes to navigate longer distances and reach new trading grounds. The intricate design of these canoes reflects the advanced boat-building skills of the Papuan people. The curved hulls were shaped using traditional methods, and the lateen sails were rigged using a simple yet effective system of ropes and pulleys. The canoes were also adorned with intricate carvings and decorations, which served both aesthetic and functional purposes. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of Papua New Guinea and the Pacific region, a time when traditional boats played a crucial role in the lives of local communities. The large trading canoes, with their elegant sails billowing in the wind, continue to evoke a sense of wonder and admiration for the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who built and sailed them.
