Taiwanese pipe boat?
Hi all - I was watching a documentary on hurricane chasers a while back
and one of the segments was shot on the coast of a far-eastern country, I think it was Taiwan. In one shot, it showed a harbour with *lots* of boats of a type I hadn't seen before. From the side they had a pronounced dory (as in Wilson Flyer type, umm, a bisected elongated teardrop?) shape and appeared to be made from lengths of pipe. The nearest thing I can find to them are Taiwanese 'tray boats', like this: http://www.friend.ly.net/~dadadata/n...mboo_boat.html However, the ones I saw looked pretty modern and had some superstructure on deck, as well as more pronounced curves (though roughly the same kind of shape as the one above). I get the impression that the 'pipes' were too big for bamboo, more like plastic sewage piping. Anyone have any info on how they are built (if I wasn't just hallucinating) or some pictures?
