Boatmaking in progress at Pulau Duyong

Peace be upon you all. Please be informed tha currently I'm on a recce trip covering selected places in the state of Terengganu, Pahang and Johor. This is for a documentary project called "Daulah Melayu" in which I am a main researcher and also the host. I would share stories on some of the places as I see fit and this is one...


Tuesday afternoon 2nd June 2015, the second day of the trip, me and the recce team visited a traditional boat building facility at Pulau (island of) Duyong, Kuala Terengganu. The name of the island is also spelt Duyung. I have once visited a similar facility but at a different place on the same island. Look at the old article The wooden yacht yard at Pulau Duyong.


It happened that there was a boat in the making.


And the maker, a master craftsman is at work...


And so there we were admiring the proceedings...





Outside was moored a yatch completed by the craftsman years ago...
