EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the scenic beauty and historical significance of the Malabar Coast in India during the late 19th century. The image showcases several native oared vessels, including one named the Calicut, skillfully navigating the coastal waters. The Calicut boat, a traditional Malabar craft, is depicted with a single mast and a square sail. In the background, two double-masted dhows with lanteen sails can be seen gracefully sailing against the backdrop of the tranquil sea. The Malabar Coast, located in the southwestern part of India, has a rich maritime history. The region was known for its thriving trade connections with various parts of the world, including the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Boatmen played a crucial role in this maritime trade, transporting goods between the coast and the interior regions of India. The Calicut boat, named after the ancient port city of Calicut, was an essential part of the Malabar maritime culture. These boats were used for both fishing and transportation. The oared vessels in the foreground, with their long, slender hulls and outrigger supports, were ideally suited for navigating the shallow waters of the coast. The inclusion of the lanteen-rigged dhows in the background adds to the historical context of the image. These double-masted vessels were common in the Indian Ocean and were used for long-distance trade. Their distinctive rigging, with the lateen sails set at an angle to the mast, allowed them to sail closer to the wind and cover greater distances. This engraving provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditional boatbuilding and maritime skills of the Malabar Coast. It serves as a reminder of the region's rich maritime history and the vital role played by boatmen in India's trade connections with the world.
