The Last of the Boatyards
An hour-long documentary is an attempt to trace the origins of the boat making industry, which flourished during 17th century in the small town of Beypore in the southern state of Kerala. According to a few historians, Hebrews who immigrated to India’s southern coasts might have introduced the tools to cut and transport huge logs of wood, which were used in building big boats known as ‘Uru’.
The film will document the hand crafting of this mammoth, 135 feet long and 40 feet wide Uru. Intertwined with the history of the boats the documentary takes you through the myth surrounding them, the most fascinating being these were used in the battle of Waterloo. Also, exploring the reason for decline of the ancient craft and the tragedy of Beypore, which remains moored in age-old traditions.
