India 🇮🇳 Traditional Wooden Boat Building on the Ganges River | Varanasi India (Ep109)

Описание: Join Joe from Motor City Boat Werks on a unique Christmas adventure along the Ganges River in Varanasi, India! In this special episode, we explore traditional wooden boat building, diesel engine repairs, and the craftsmanship behind centuries-old boats.
🚤 Watch as local boatmen, including third-generation boat builder Sunil Sahani, demonstrate:
✅Teak (TE) & Shisham (Indian Rosewood) construction
✅Plank-on-plank techniques for durable hulls
✅Caulking methods with ashes and black paint
✅Tin plating & bottom maintenance for long-lasting boats
✅Diesel engine troubleshooting & piston repair on the beach
Discover how these traditional wooden boats have survived generations, why they’re preferred over fiberglass in the river, and how DIY ingenuity and craftsmanship come together on the banks of the Ganges.
We also take a boat ride downstream to Ramnagar Fort, getting a firsthand look at life along one of the world’s holiest rivers. From local boat repairs to ancient fort tours, this episode is a must-watch for anyone fascinated by boat restoration, marine engineering, and traditional boatbuilding techniques.
