Attribution - NonCommercial - ShareAlike 4.0 InternationalBoats are the means of transport for the coastal peoples of Cameroon. In colonial times, the boat was important for the transportation of people and goods. Since the arrival of the Europeans, the Duala people had been acting as intermediaries. With the use of their boats, they exchanged goods in the hinterland and brought them to the European ships at sea. This boat is a model of these vessels from the German colonial period. The object was ordered as an item of tourist art by the collector and brought back to Freiburg.
