Where The Great Phinisi Ships Was Built, South Sulawesi, Indonesia

[futnotecom]

The phinisi is a traditional Indonesian two to a three-masted sailing ship. It was mainly built by the Konjo tribe, a sub-ethnic group of Bugis-Makassar mostly residents at the Bulukumba regency of South Sulawesi. But was, and still is used widely by the Buginese and Makassarese, mostly for inter-insular transportation, cargo and fishing purposes within the Indonesian archipelago.

UNESCO designated Pinisi boat-building art as Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity at the 12th Session of the Unique Cultural Heritage Committee on Dec 7, 2017.

Thank for your comment.

Well, there's a lot of rituals to build this ship. Since it was a traditional ship, there only a traditional ritual could do it.

The material is from Gufasa trees, the endemic tree from that region.
