Most scholarly work on Christian mission in the Pacific has focussed on the nineteenth century and on the effect of Christianisation on indigenous populations, rather than on the effect of mission propaganda on Western communities. This thesis repositions mission propaganda as an important alternative source of visual imagery of the Melanesian ‘Other’ available to white popular audiences. Within a broader commercial market that commodified Western notions of Melanesian ‘savagery’ via illustrated travelogue magazines and commercial multi-media shows, missionaries trod an uneasy knife-edge in how they transmitted indigenous imagery and mediated cultural difference for white consumers.

  • A New Concept in Fast Fishing Platforms
    SPC/Fisheries/Tech. 7(HQ) 8 May 1968. " SOUTH PACIFIC COMMISSION THIRD TECHNICAL MEETING ON FISHERIES KORQR. PALAU TRUST TERRITORY OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS (JUNE 5 - JUNE 14. 1968) A NEW CONCEPT IN FAST FISHING PLATFORMS by Dr M. Rapson Chief of Fisheries Department of Agriculture, Stock and Fisheries Port Moresby Territory of Papua and New Guinea In a recent publication Smith (1963) describes in theory the possibility of sailing at 40 knots in a 13.5 knot breeze. :The book des­ cribes early sailing craft and Pacific canoes feature largely in the development of the aerohydrofoil. Dugout canoe design does not lend itself to high speeds, Jefford (1962), but the modern catamaran design may be capable of development as a fishing platform. Three hydrofoils are recommended, but there is essentially no platform in this type of design and a more conventional lakatoi or catamaran design using the hulls to carry the fish catch may be more efficient in operation. The catamaran hulls must be planing hulls and the hull design must not include air lifting properties which are obvious in some modern catamarans. The aerofoil is an aeroplane type of wing section mounted upright as a sail. The normal airplane wing is not symmetrical in cross section and lift is generated by the upper surface. Use of such an air­ foil would make impossible the problem of going about in the normal yacht type of vessel and this manoeuvre would have to be carried out as in some dugout canoes, namely by reversing the direction of travel of the hull.

  • Archaeology Is Unravelling New Stories About Indigenous Seagoing
    Archaeology is unravelling new stories about Indigenous seagoing trade on Australia's doorstep 11 April 2019, by Chris Urwin, Alois Kuaso, Bruno David, Henry Auri Arifeae And Robert Skelly, This means societies with complex seafaring technologies and widespread social connections operated at Australia's doorstep over 2,500 years prior to colonisation. Entrepreneurial traders were traversing the entire south coast of PNG in sailing ships. There is also archaeological evidence that suggests early connections between PNG and Australia's Torres Strait Islands. Fine earthenware pottery dating to 2,600 years ago, similar in form to pottery arriving in the Gulf of Papua around that A Motu trading ship with its characteristic crab claw time, has been found on the island of Pulu. Rock shaped sails. Taken in the period 1903-1904. Credit: art on the island of Dauan further to the north Trustees of The British Museum, CC BY-NC-SA depicts a ship with a crab claw-shaped sail, closely resembling the ships used by Indigenous traders from PNG. It has long been assumed that Indigenous Australia was isolated until Europeans arrived in 1788, except for trade with parts of present day Indonesia beginning at least 300 years ago. But our recent archaeological research hints of at least an extra 2,100 years of connections across the Coral Sea with Papua New Guinea. Over the past decade, we have conducted research in the Gulf of Papua with local Indigenous communities. During the excavations, the most common archaeological evidence found in the old village sites was fragments of pottery, which preserve well The region termed the ‘Coral Sea Cultural Interaction in tropical environments compared to artefacts Sphere’ where archaeology is gradually uncovering made of wood or bone.
