Boats in Sumatra (1928)
Local people arriving by boat to the Prabat market in Toba, Sumatra in (ab.) 1928. My restoration and colorization of the original image by Schmid in the Swiss ETH Library archive. The boats must have been rather seaworthy, because the waves could sometimes be up to four metre high, according to the ETH caption
