Summary
[edit]DescriptionSailing boat of Borneo and Celebes from Folkard's The Sailing Boat.jpg |
English: BOATS OF BORNEO.
Some of the boats of Borneo and Celebes are exceedingly well made. The sailing-boats have high and very broad sterns and long raking bows. They have a double or shear mast, and long-shaped square-sail ; they have also a stage or gallery, and other peculiarities, which will he better understood by reference to the illustration. Some of the canoes which Captain Mundy met in the gulf of Boni he describes as of very long shape, propelled by fifteen paddles, and ornamented both at prow and stern with carved wood. The small sailing-boats he describes as fitted with wooden outriggers, which, weighted with men, enabled them to carry a sail of enormous size. On the inland waters, some of the canoes are forty or fifty feet long, by only two and a-half wide, and covered with a small kajang or mat. Others are so small as scarcely to float a child of five years of age — in fact but a hollowed log. |
