In the late 1800s, missionaries in Papua New Guinea began to observe large fleets of indigenous sailing ships in present-day Port Moresby. Each year the women of nearby villages manufactured thousands of pots to be loaded onto the ships and sailed westward. Robert Skelly and Bruno David investigate the origins of this indigenous maritime trade system.
