High and dry at low tide, Korean fishing boats dramatize the silted condition of Kunsan harbor.
Boats with nets made available by UNKRA moored between trips to the fishing grounds.

A dock worker lugs an A-frame load of ice aboard one of the boats. The ice, produced at a plant aided by UNKRA, is dumped in the hold to preserve the freshly-caught fish.

The new 28-foot boat which was launched on 28 October 1954, the first completed under UNKRA's loan program. The 13-ton vessel is one of 14 improved Eastern-type boats for whose construction loans have been granted. Another nine, designed after European power and sail type boats, are under construction with UNKRA funds. This owner was loaned HW 1,118,000 (about $4,000), which enabled him to buy 7,200 BF of lumber and a locally-produced power unit.
