Jukung-Boats from the Barito Basin, Borneo in Bloomington, MN

Jukungs are boats that are constructed over hollowed out and expanded tree trunks, before being crafted by boatbuilders into a variety of sizes, from simple small baots to large passenger-ferries. Erik Pedersen, an architect, became interested in these boats while living in Borneo, and has here collected a unique body of material on these fascinating vessels.
