Theme :
Traditional Shipbuilding Techniques

Traditional craft skills and ingenuity have always been influenced by the environmental resources available to a given community. In this issue of the ICH Courier,
we explore how traditional craftspeople in Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Solomon Islands developed their own unique shipbuilding skills and designs by using the resources available to them.
