Big day! Our little chhot boat has begun its journey from Dihimondalghat to #India's new NMHC maritime museum in Lothal, Gujarat—its final destination. Thx to Mondal family builders, @swarupboat, @sail_with_the_sinbad and funders @EMKP_BM. #archaeology #boats #heritage

Our stapled chhot boat is shaping up at the expert hands of its builders. Is going up fast! The staples inside will stay, but those outside will be removed once the framing is done. An @EMKP_BM project documenting endangered crafts, with @ZeeDaAldebaran @swarupboat. @ExeterIAIS

Always misplacing your tools? Tie on a snazzy bow! A life hack that I'll definitely take away from the builders of our @EMKP_BM project chhot-boat in West Bengal. @swarupboat @ZeeDaAldebaran @ExeterIAIS

See the magic unfold: the builders staple the garboard plank to the keel of the @EMKP_BM chhot boat, looking easy. The stapled chhot has largely vanished in West Bengal. Our project records it. @ExeterIAIS @ZeeDaAldebaran @swarupboat @ExeterMarine
