Close-up of inside of boat showing how shoulders are held together by wooden pegs. "Hand-hewn by adz and machete, the sturdy shoulders for this Bahamian work-boat are held together by wooden pegs -- just as were the ships of early New England builders. Most of the boats -- built to exact specification and to custom order -- are made for fishermen or inter-island trading, but some are built for American or British sportsmen." [no NF ref.]
