Copra Schooners Boats Taiohae Bay Nuku Hiva Polynesia Old French Postcard
zx366 Antique very rare and specialist postcard showing Columbia Copra Schooners at Nuku Hiva (the largest of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia) unused bar just small places incl one corner with small browning (and the identification on the card) in great condition. This appears to date beyond 100 years ago origin.
Columbian copra schooners were fairly large (about 75), shoal draft, and double-ended. Their trade consisted of bringing diverse goods to the Kunas (everything from diving gear to canned foods), and trading for coconuts (copra). Copra technically refers to the meat of the coconuts, and also the shells, which are made into everything from tableware to firewood, to say nothing of carved shrunken heads!
