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

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.

Java -- shipping Plumbago (LOC)

Probably not the plant but the mineral, i.e., graphite. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite and books.google.com/books?id=HTcxAQAAMAAJ&lpg=PA63&o... books.google.com/books?id=JnoobL8WvCUC&pg=PA572&l... confirms that the United States imported plumbago from "Java and Madura" in 1922.

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.
