One day a pilolog Bugis, Doctoral Nurhayati Rahman, opened the library closet and grabbed a book of ancient literature Bugis La Galigo. He read a verse about the oral tradition of the Bugis boat philosophical: “If you are having difficulties at sea, then palingkanlah boat to the right seven times. If it had not given way, palingkanlah boat to the left of seven times. If that was not given path, then you take trouble.
Meaningful descriptions that accompany the trip in a boat that was speeding down the middle of the ocean. The boat and the sea is indeed a major part of philosophy, behavior, and everyday citizens Bugis and the tribes on the island of Sulawesi. They are not only known as a tough sailor or a skilled fisherman. But, also as a maker of wooden boats that are reliable. And of course with traditional technology. The conclusion was not only recorded in ancient manuscripts La Galigo, but also in real evidence shown boat makers in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi.

In the coastal village of Tana Beru, Bulukumba, Baso Muslim Hajj is known as a reliable boat maker. One morning he was with the courtier and his Sahi preparing to launch a boat engine to sea. Boat owned by the World Wildlife Protection Agency or the WWF it was his work over the last two months. And now the “baby” is getting ready to be presented to the natural world.

There, he learned to make the boat since the age of 16 years. And at the age of 21 years, he has been able to be a retainer of a boat building.
