  Sarah Brabazon It certainly stopped a while ago on the Great Barrier Reef :) We have some other items in the collection regarding turtle riding and racing. An interesting past-time of the past...

Photograph by Oskar Speck depicting a man and three children sitting by a woven sail at a beach

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

• juantoo34 said:

  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.

  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.
