At the end of winter quarter, students from the Marine Technology program at Seattle Central College and their instructor, Sam Laher, toured the offsite location housing the Burke Museum\u2019s collection of traditional, wooden boats from Southeast Asia, the Pacific Northwest, and other points around the globe.\u00a0 They were met by Peter Lape, UW professor of Anthropology and the Burke\u2019s Curator of Archaeology, who showed off what he described as an unusual collection, noting that no one set out to acquire this particular set of vessels.\u00a0 Instead the boats found their way to the Burke, some in the unlikeliest ways.\u00a0 One of the best examples may be the Balinese jukung<\/em><\/a> which was found in disrepair and abandoned on a Seattle sidewalk.<\/p>\n

Lape hasn\u2019t been able to uncover the full story of its journey here but, after years of trying, he was able to trace its point of origin to a fishing village on Bali\u2019s northeast coast.\u00a0 A distinguishing feature on the jukung<\/em> turned out to be\u00a0 like a fingerprint: each village had its own unique design for the earring routinely painted on the bow and this one was recognized as originating from Kusamba.<\/p>\n

The jukung<\/em> is designed for tuna fishing and is built for speed; Lape described it as a sportscar with a little too much engine.\u00a0 They need to be fast not only for trolling but to get the day\u2019s catch back to market as quickly as possible in the equatorial heat.\u00a0 The boat is exceptionally narrow with outriggers that just skim the water\u2019s surface and a sail that can catch too much of a breeze at times.\u00a0 Villagers tell stories of boats capsizing from flying too fast back to port or after hooking a particularly powerful shark.<\/p>\n

Another vessel the students paid particular attention to was a canoe unearthed along the Green River<\/a>\u00a0over 50 years ago.\u00a0 Radiocarbon testing and methods of construction date the canoe\u2019s construction between 1820 and 1870.\u00a0 The students weren\u2019t there just to observe, however.\u00a0 They\u2019ll be building cradles for both the Green River canoe and the jukung<\/em> to support the boats and make them easier to display.\u00a0 Torsten Regets, who will complete the five-quarter program this spring, noted the design team\u2019s main challenge is to provide an appropriate support structure considering the fragility of the canoe. \u00a0Regets will use computer aided drafting and design (CADD) technology to meet that challenge.\u00a0 He explained, \u201cCADD gives us the ability to design and fit the parts together\u00a0in a virtual environment, allowing us to conceptually build without actually touching the artifact.\u201d Students learn CADD technology as part of their curriculum, along with the fabrication techniques and spatial planning skills necessary to use it successfully.<\/p>\n

The students will start designs for the canoe and then turn to the jukung<\/em>.\u00a0 The project is part of a joint collaboration between Seattle Central College\u2019s Wood Technology Center, the Burke Museum, and the Southeast Asia Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
