The “India, Pirogue with rowers” boat ...Hi Robert,<br /><br />The “India, Pirogue with rowers” boat is from Kerala on the west coast. In English they’re called ‘snake boats’, locally called Chundan-Vallums. They’re used in a specific yearly boat race, are 158 feet long, have 100 passengers of which 64 are paddlers, 4 or 5 man steering rudders, and some chanters. I believe there are 5 or so other related types [some for females only] used in similar races. They were historically used as naval vessels<br />For example, Chundan-Vallum:<br /><br />https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/Kerala_boatrace.jpg<br /><br />and another related - the Iruttukuthy-Vallam which supported the Chundans in battle:<br /><br />https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8331/8111185000_044f8fa6da_b.jpg<br /><br />**<br /><br />The “Sri Lanka: Boat with fisherman” is a real boat made from the trunk of the sugar palm. I’m not sure about Sri Lanka, but they can still be found in the upper parts of the Godavari River around Lake Kolleru and Kondakarla. They’ve been variously called Shoe Dhoni [by Hornell], Toddytrunk boats or I think Touktnouts. They are used singly [but often are paired up as well].<br />For example:<br /><br />http://images.worthview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/west-godavari-kolleru.jpg<br /><br />There are at least 2 other related, but less dramatic [waterline parallel sheerlines] boats: <br />one in Cambodia, the Rua Pong<br /><br />https://www.cambodiauncovered.com/images5/dugout1.jpg<br /><br /> and the other in Thailand, the sugar palm dugout [I don’t know its proper name].<br /><br /> However the holy-grail of these has to be the decked 26 foot long sewn plank version of these [Shoe Dhonis] that Hornell saw in the Godivari delta near the coast.<br /> <br />Regards,<br />mick allen<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466695305125791022.post-89339168005214159872017-01-05T03:33:10.804-08:002017-01-05T03:33:10.804-08:00Thanks Igor.
