On my recent visit to Sibu Town,I find the wooden boats of the 50's and 60's very fascinating and still strong and still as if its is in the 60's.

You can see this kind of boat being moored at the various wharves and jetties along Rajang and Igan River in Sibu.The above picture of the wooden boat moored at the Tua Pek Kong Wharf,this boat plys between Sibu,Kapit,Matu and Daro and other small town of coastal area that linked by road is impossible.This wooden boat mainly carries general cargos.

Reminds me of my own harbour here. Very different world to yours but harbours and boats are common ground and have so many textures.

It is nice to see something has not been swept away in the name of Progress and speed. The pace of life must be much as it was just here and once they unmoor.

Nice shot for boats. It's a good one.

The lines of these old boats make for a very fine mono shot. Excellent composition, and full of historical interest.
