EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the traditional fishing boat, known as an "Oruwa," beached on the shores of Galle, Sri Lanka during the 1910s. The Oruwa is a type of catamaran, featuring two parallel hulls connected by a common deck and outriggers on each side for stability in rough waters. This design is well-suited to the windward side of the country, where the prevailing winds and waves can be strong. The fishermen of Galle have relied on these boats for generations, using them to transport themselves and their catch to the shore. The boat's simple design, relying on wind and oars for propulsion, reflects the deep connection between the people of Sri Lanka and the sea. The photograph captures the timeless beauty of this scene, with the boat's elegant curves and the rugged shoreline creating a striking contrast. The fishermen, dressed in traditional clothing, can be seen working together to unload their catch, a testament to the communal nature of fishing in this region. The history of fishing in Galle dates back thousands of years, with evidence of ancient harbors and fishing settlements found in the area. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a way of life that has remained largely unchanged for generations. Despite the passage of time and the modernization of fishing techniques, the Oruwa remains an important symbol of Sri Lanka's rich maritime heritage. This photograph serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the people of this country and the sea, and the enduring beauty of traditional fishing practices.
