Summary

Description
English: "A remarkable photograph of 1875 (by E.H. Man) showing the influence the new masters were having on islanders' daily life and technology only 17 years after the British took over. In the foreground is a traditional Great Andamanese outrigger canoe used mostly for fishing. There was no travel over longer distances in pre-British times. In the background is the much longer, new-style outrigger-less canoe that could transport more people over longer distances. The people standing around their vessels are Great Andamanese (some with their traditional weapons) with a supervising Indian Jemadar at the back." Citation from Pottery, Tools and Technology (of Great Andamanese people), by George Weber
