Native Outrigger Sailboat with Raised Sail on Beach

Native Outrigger Sailboat with Raised Sail on Beach

A native outrigger sailboat, sail fully raised, rests on a muddy shoreline as local men look on. Photographs of indigenous watercraft such as this were commonly taken by American servicemen of the 312th Bomb Group, documenting the local Pacific communities encountered near their overseas bases.
