Fishing boats and wooden buildings at a small settlement on the Ilha Jararaca near Belem, Brazil.

Fishing boats and wooden buildings at a small settlement on the Ilha Jararaca near Belem, Brazil. A single masted boat with its gaff and boom sail lowered is on the river bank. Rolls of bamboo canes are in the boat. A similar boat is further up the bank in front of a wooden building on stilts with a palm frond roof. Other wooden buildings are in the background. The photographer is ashore during a cruise on the Swedish passenger cruise ship Kungsholm (1928). The settlement is shown in negatives numbers P90293, P90300 and P92463 to P92478 inclusive and is variously recorded as Jaracaras and Jararacas.
