Photograph by Oskar Speck depicting a waterside village

    I'm pretty sure this photo is of Lamalera, Lembata, E Indonesia. The black volcanic sand beach with its fishing boats lined up in front of their boatsheds. Part of the lower village can be seen behind. Palm thatch roofs are now often replaced with corrugated iron sheeting.

35mm negative by Oskar Speck depicting a child holding a swordfish bill

    Not a Swordfish (which has no teeth), this is a Sawfish bill. A shallow water cartilaginous fish it would sometimes be encountered by fishermen in these tropical waters.

Photograph by Oskar Speck depicting the bow of an Indonesian fishing boat

  • juantoo34 said:
    Part of the bow of a Peledang (or Tenâ) from Lamalera, Lembata, E Indonesia. The village is Catholic, and being a fishing village, it has St Peter as its patron saint. The word 'Christ' can be made out painted on the hull, along with an eye at the front. The villagers believe that boats have a spirit and need eyes to see where they are going when out at sea. What can also be seen is a section of large diameter bamboo, part of the Hamma Lollo (Harpooner's platform) which extends forward of the bow and from which the harpooner launches the harpoon and himself toward the big sea game or whale they are hunting.
