Shrimp fishing on horseback has existed on the Belgian coast since 1510, according to historical archives. The fishing method, in which a horse pulls a net, was spread along the entire North Sea where the gently sloping beach allowed this. Since 2013, this old fishing method is Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Pinisi, or the Art of Boatbuilding in South Sulawesi, refers to the rig and sail of the famed ‘Sulawesi schooner’. The construction and deployment of such vessels stand in the millennia-long tradition of Austronesian boatbuilding and navigation that has brought forth a broad variety of sophisticated watercrafts. For both the Indonesian and the international public, Pinisi has become the epitome of the Archipelago’s indigenous sailing craft. Today, the centres of boatbuilding are located at Tana Beru, Bira and Batu Licin, where about 70 per cent of the population make a living through work related to boatbuilding and navigation. Shipbuilding and sailing are not only the communities’ economic mainstay, however, but also the central focus of daily life and identity. The reciprocal cooperation between the communities of shipwrights and their relations with their customers strengthen mutual understanding between the parties involved. Knowledge and skills related to the element are passed down from generation to generation within the family circle, as well as to individuals outside of the family through the division of labour.
Phinisi (alt Pi nisi) has been inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity register.
When I was working in Makassar, the most treasured thankyou gift I was given was a model phinisi in a display case. The long history of sailing and navigation in the region (way prior to Dampier or Cook) extended to trading with aboriginal (Australian) people especially with those who lived on the Tiwi Islands near where Darwin is today, and along the Arnhem coast including Yirrkala (Macassan Beach).
A foreigner was participating in the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance, which is a traditional culture in Hong Kong during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he was lighting incense sticks for refilling on the body of the fire dragon.
The people, the performers, together with vibrancy of the embellished costumes was a real treat, The dancing procession wended its way for 12 hours!
The most prominent part of any oxcart is the wheels. They are also the feature that is the most complex to build. Thick pieces of wood such as Spanish cedar, mahogany, and laurel are cut into the shape of a wedge. Sixteen wedges, each placed 22.5 degrees away from the last, make up each circle and they are then bound together with a heated metal ring to make a wheel. The wheels are then sanded smooth and, once completed, they are passed on to the artists who paint them.
Eloy Alfaro factory is a complete factory because it not only manufactures the wooden carts but also produces the ironwork for the axles, the wheel center mass, and the metal rim surrounding the wooden wheel, plus all the other hardware for the carts.
"Oxcart traditions in Costa Rica" is on the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
