Satawal Islanders, 1962. Photo by David S. Boyer.
“Sails set high at sunrise, Satawal Islanders beyond the horizon. These residents of small atolls between Yap and Truk in the western Pacific sail hundreds of miles in outriggers made from breadfruit planks.
Canoes bore voyagers to distant Pacific island homes centuries before Columbus braved the Atlantic, perhaps even before the birth of Christ. Shallow draft enabled their boats to get through coral reefs; stability came from a light float attached to the bull with booms, or by a second bull connected by a platform. Double canoes of Tonga, largest known in Polynesia, reached 100 feet and carried as many as 200 voyagers. Some were built of planks stitched together with cord made from the fibrous bark of the purau tree. Paddles, and mat-like sails woven from pandanus leaves, propelled them.”
From “Men, ships, and the sea” by Alan Villiers, 1978.

Bali, 1950s.
“Janger (Balinese: ᬚᬗᬾᬃ) is a traditional Balinese and Osing dance drama performance originated from the Indonesian island of Bali, and commonly performed by Balinese in Bali as well as Osing people in the easternmost region of Java. The term roughly translates to ’"infatuation,” with a connotation of someone who is madly in love.“
