C. “The Outriggers of Indonesian Canoes.” The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, vol. 50, 1920, pp. 69–134, and captioned: "Fig. 27. Indo-Javanese ship: two masts with rungs, four straight booms which pass below the longitudinal spar, four curved booms which pass over the longitudinal spar and between the two elements of the double float and project beyond the outer of these. (Leemans, p1. Cxviii, 216)."
Related text on pp.101; 104 notes: "Representations of seven ships are given in Leemans' atlas of 'Boro-Boedoer' [Leiden 1873] ..., two of which are without outriggers, one having a simple mast and the other a tripod one. The other five ships have outriggers which we may suppose were double, as four show a port outrigger, and one a starboard outrigger... In the fifth ship (28) the longitudinal spar is absent and the ends of the slightly curved three booms pass to the outer side of the double float, the two elements of which are shown as being tied together - I regard these three booms as the equivalents of the curved booms, the straight booms being absent."
