  • A Few Different Sleeping Sites, 1950-2010 William V
    A Few Different Sleeping Sites, 1950-2010 William V. Davidson, Cultural Geographer My Five Favorites 1. Tulum ruins, Quintana Roo, México, 1965. In my jungle hammock in ruins, at structure 20, completely alone for a few nights. This photograph was taken with a self-timer on my 35 mm camera. I was looking for evidence of a sac-be, one of the ancient “white roads” of the Maya that ran from the coast to interior sites. The residents of the hamlet of Tulum, a couple of miles away, were visited, but they were so poor (and perhaps too suspicious of me) they refused to give me even a tortilla. They did allow me to fill my water jug from their well. Water in the small cenote within the walls at Tulum looked a bit dirty for drinking. However, it was a nice place to bathe before going to sleep. 2. Taj Mahal, Agra, India, 1962. To fulfill a childhood desire, following a stunt by Richard Halliburton, on August 14, under a full moon, I slept on the hard, cold marble floor next to the tomb in the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. I was in India for the summer participating in the Experiment in International Living. 3. Bolivian Altiplano, August 1963. South of Lago Titicaca: abandoned Chipaya-Puquina sod house. Yes, it was cold at 13,000+ feet elevation in the South American winter. With brother Junie and pilot uncle Thayne Muller, while on our single-engine flight around South America. Our only projects around here were to visit the largest South American pilgrimage at Copacabana on the shore of Lake Titicaca and to seek sites of the indigenous Uru people.

  • Title: Need to Take Steps to Bring Manufacturing of Uru, a Sea Going Vessel Under Make-In-India Banner
    an> Title: Need to take steps to bring manufacturing of Uru, a sea going vessel under Make-in-India banner. SHRI M.K. RAGHAVAN (KOZHIKODE): Respected Chairman Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Sir, I want to highlight the plight of an ancient industry exclusively handled by the Vishwakarma community in my constituency. The industry once flourished is now facing crisis. Sir, Uru is a seagoing vessel made of wood, similar to the Arab Dhow and made with high quality wood by highly skilled carpenters at Beypore in Calicut, Kerala, which falls under my parliamentary constituency. Since ancient times it has been used as trading vessels. Good seaworthiness, durability and fine architecture of Urus have made them popular as seagoing passenger vessels also. These vessels are aggressively marketed to Qatar and other Gulf countries as luxury yachts. All the work, right from sawing logs of wood to launching, is done by hand in which around 35-40 people complete the work in about 24 months. The Beypore Uru is the largest single piece of handicraft afloat. The vessel is moved to Dubai for outfitting and upholstery as these facilities are currently not available at Beypore. Sir, an Uru of 1000 tones will cost about Rs.8 crore to build the hull at Beypore. An equivalent amount is required at Dubai for outfitting and upholstery. If these activities are done at Beypore, each Uru could fetch Rs.16 crore in foreign currency. Falling under the unorganized sector without any corporate or government backup, it is very difficult to raise funds from financial institutions.
