1. Title: "A Grand Carolinian Boat with Outrigger and Platform: A Window into the Maritime Culture of the Tinian Islanders, Marianas, circa 1835-1840" This handcolored lithograph, titled "Plan of a large Carolinian boat with outrigger and platform," offers a unique glimpse into the rich maritime culture of the Carolinian people from the Tinian Island in the Marianas. Dating back to the early 19th century, this intricately detailed image is an essential ethnographic record, capturing the design and construction of a traditional Carolinian canoe. The boat, depicted in the plan, is characterized by its large size and the distinctive outrigger and platform. The outrigger, an additional lateral support, enhances the stability of the canoe, enabling the Tinian islanders to navigate the open waters of the Pacific Ocean with confidence. The platform, located at the stern, serves as a space for passengers or cargo. The Carolinian people were renowned for their seafaring skills, and their boats were an integral part of their daily life. They used these canoes for fishing, trade, and transportation between islands. The intricate design of the boats reflects their deep connection to the sea and their innovative engineering solutions to navigate the vast Pacific waters. This lithograph, part of Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, is a valuable historical record of the customs, costumes, and traditions of the Tinian Islanders. It provides a window into their way of life, offering insights into their maritime culture, social organization, and economic activities. The handcolored lithograph's vibrant colors and meticulous detail add to its aesthetic appeal, making it a fascinating piece of anthropological and historical significance.
