Camakau
This single hull Fiji canoe is of the Camakau type primarily used as a voyaging canoe on the Melanesian islands of Bau, Rewa and Tailevu.
Like his bigger brother the Drua, the construction of the Camakau is awe-inspiring and it required me to visit the vessel a few time in order
to really understand how some elements were fitted together .

Here one can see the two identical extremities of the canoe called "Tau", the Ebony deck and arched railing .
