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.

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
