  • Stable-Ships of Tiruppudaimarudur and Tirukkurunkudi (South India)*
    Indian Journal of History of Science, 44.4 (2009) 551-567 STABLE-SHIPS OF TIRUPPUDAIMARUDUR AND TIRUKKURUNKUDI (SOUTH INDIA)* JEAN DELOCHE** (Received 13 October 2008) In the district of Tirunelveli, South India, two works of art provide some significant information bearing on Indian nautical technology. The first one is found in the gopura of boat anchored in a harbour; the second one decorates the gateway of the Tirukkurunkudi temple with a relief which shows a ship disembarking horses and elephants. Though not strictly accurate, both the painting and carving are of an exceptional importance since they are the unique representations of the stable-ships which, for centuries, plied in the western part of the Indian Ocean, the first one coming from the Persian Gulf, the other, from the Red Sea. It is certain that these documents will be used by scholars to illustrate the fascinating history of horse trade from the Near East to India during the Medieval period. Key words: Boat, Persian Gulf, , Red Sea, Ship, Technology. INTRODUCTION The representations of ancient boats and ships in India are not numerous: some images on seals from the Harappan period, engravings on bas-reliefs and coins, from the 2nd century BC to the 7th century AD, Ajanta paintings (6th century) (Deloche 1996, pp. 199-224), carvings on memorial stones from the 11th-15th century (Deloche 1987, pp. 164-184), a few Rajput or Mughal miniatures (Verma 1978, pp. 109-11, pl. LXXI); finally, the Maratha drawings in the Prince * Revised version of two of my articles published in Bulletin de l’Ecole française d’Extrême- Orient, 72 (1983) 1-11 and 76 (1987), 170, 182-84.

  • Crafts and Gears Used in Indian Fisheries
    CRAFTS AND GEARS USED IN INDIAN FISHERIES The use of crafts and gears in fishing technology plays very important role and help enhancing the production commercial bases. The success of fishing largely depends on to how and which types of nets are used to capture the fish. There are two main types of devices used to capture fishes in both marine and inland fisheries: (1) Nets or gear — these are instruments used for catching fish. (2) Crafts or Boats — It provides platform for fishing operations, carrying the crew and fishing gears. There are various types of gears and crafts used in different parts depending upon the nature of water bodies, the age of fish and their species. Some nets are used without craft; however, others are used with the help of crafts. Generally, locally made gears and crafts may be non-mechanized or mechanized. Crafts and Boats:There are many types of fishing crafts being successfully made and used for marine and inland fisheries. A. Marine Fishing Crafts: Different crafts are used due to different conditions of sea on the east and west coasts. I. Crafts used on the East Coasts: (1) Catamaran: The word catamaran is originated from a Tamil word Kattumaram which means ‘lashing timber’. It is used mainly on the east costs of Orissa from Kanyakumari. It is also used on northeast cost of Kerala. It is the most primitive, traditional, economical and efficient craft. It is made by tying many wood logs in such a way that it takes the shape of a canoe, which consists of two main logs and two side logs cut into boat shape and held together with rope.
