Vietnam, fisherman village.
The boat that is likely to catch the eye soonest when first reaching the Vietnamese coast is no more nor less than a round bamboo basket coated with tar or varnish to waterproof it. They vary in size from a one-man boat to those big enough to carry several men and their fishing gear and catch as well. Some are simply stunning surf boats working off exposed beaches through daunting breakers. Their construction and utility is remarkable: a simple and elegant solution to a number of problems. However, even if the basket-based boat of this design is disappearingthe basic design appears destined to live on into the future. Builders are producing very nearly identical boats, with exactly identical wooden upper works supporting lower hulls of either sheet metal or sheet plastic!
