Used for a variety of purposes, from work to pleasure and many things
in between, the boat has sparked innovation in the minds of people for
thousands of years
The Boat--a vessel for escape, adventure, trade, or travel. This is a
mode of transport of infinite variety and one that inspires serious
passion, whether made of workmanlike bolted steel, sleek modern
fiberglass, or lovingly hand-burnished timber. Photographer Simon
Griffiths has an eye for the beauty of ordinary things; in Shack he
showed us the eccentric living spaces and holiday homes that Australians
have made out of simple dwellings. In Shed he peeked inside some of
Australia's most intriguing sheds. Boat showcases the character and
craftsmanship of all sorts of boats and boat builders, from old whaling
boats to new high tech sailing boats.
