Boat Three Cheers taking on stores, Aru Islands Regency, 1908

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  When the pearling season commences on the Aru Islands, each of the three major boat types—sampans, belangs and junkos—are involved in collecting and transporting shell. Sampans: The sampans, dugouts of 3 to 6 meters that sometimes car-ried outriggers and a sail (and in Dobo even an outboard motor), are a multi-purpose inshore craft. They are employed in fishing, general transport, and pearl shell gath-ering. Many people could make sampans, and one could be con-structed at short notice anywhere on the Aru Islands. Belangs: The belangs seen on the foreshore at Dobo come in from villages, bringing pearl shell or copra (dried coconut) for sale. Usually there is a whole family on board. Junkos:The typical junko is a 10- to 20-meter-fong plank on-frame carvel-built vessel, with a counter stern, ketch rig and diesel engine.

Three Cheers crew sorting and packing shells, Aru Islands Regency, 1908

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Torres Strait pearl-shelling was almost entirely dependent on imported indentured labour from both Asia and the Pacific, the crew of the Combination's Three Cheers fleet being typical – 3 Europeans, 40 Japanese, 23 Filipinos, 12 Malays, 35 South Sea Islanders and 20 New Guineans.40 By the late 1890s, divers were having to go deeper for shell, and the majority were Japanese, who were the very best. Deep water full-dress helmet diving was not only dangerous, but a highly skilled occupation, and it took two or three years to train good men.
