    It would be fascinating to know the names of the individuals in the photo. Whilst undertaking some research at London Road, Cemetery, Coventry, UK, this morning, I came across the following inscription on the family grave of the Hawley family. ' In loving memory of Thomas Gustave ( Hawley) only child of Thomas and Louisa Hawley, of this City, who died on the S.S. Moresby , the 14th August 1899, aged 39 years , and was buried on Crawford Island, one of the Solomans' Nigel Clews, Coventry UK, 11 April 2023

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.

    The picture shows a woven palm leaf sail belonging to a Peledang (or Tena) fishing boat from Lamalera, Lembata, East Indonesia. It is being repaired. In the foreground are logs which are used to facilitate the launching/beaching of the boats as they are pushed out to sea across the black volcanic sand beach, or back up the beach into their boatsheds when they return mid-afternoon.
