SHANTY BOATS

Shanty boats kind of make you think about Huckleberry Finn and Mark Twain, but they certainly make some sense for what most people actually use their boats for. Down here in the Caribbean you don't often see shanty boats but yesterday lo and behold if there was not a very interesting boat that certainly seems to touch on the shanty boat esthestic (if possibly a bit post-modern, with touches of Bolger as well). Hopefully, I will be able to talk to the owner sometime soonish and be back with more, but in the meantime here are a couple of pictures to peruse...
