Charlie,
In Sulawesi, there even aren't barns on the beach :-)
The sailmakers build the ships on the sand, and later they dig to can launch 
the ship...
Even so, they are able to build superb wooden vessels (without any nail) as the 
ones which can be seen everyday in the "old port" of Jakarta.
I took some pictures, in '97, I shall scan and post someones forward.
Thanks again,
Marc

    Thank you so much, Charlie  !!

    I love the wooden ships, but especially when they are the "normal" thing, 
and used everyday ;-)
    This one were in Gambia, but I've seen someones -so beautiful- in 
Indonesia, where the "shipyards" are on the beach itself...

    Amitiés,
    Marc


  Marc,
     Very true!  They are indeed yet more beautiful when 
  they are worn from use.  
     Here in New England there exist the remains of shipyards 
  that were little more than a barn on a beach on a river 
  close to the sea.  Real shipyards are better than remains. :-)
