Sailing the Monsoon Winds in Miniature

Understanding Indian Ocean Boat Models

Beschreibung

This book explores how models of non-European watercrafts - specifically those from the Indian Ocean - commonly found in museum collections in the UK and throughout the world can help us to understand traditional boats and boat-building practices, some of which no longer exist.
