Iles Salomon - Solomon Islands  
Images par excellence of unsurpassed ethnographic importance.

Hivo Reef Solomon Is.Tomako canoes pass wreck Schooner ALFREDA

Hivo reef Solomon Islands. Tamako dreadnought canoe warriors paddle defiantly past the wreck of  the schooner ALFREDA listing helplessly high on the reef.

The myth of European Equatorial Pacific superiority as much holed as the abandoned schooner.   One of the most evocative haunting Post Contact Pacific Melanesian Solomon images ever captured.
