What it shows: Traditional boat building thrives in Karachi, unlike US yards.
The scene as painted: A weathered wooden fishing boat takes shape on a sun-baked beach in Ibrahim Hyderi, with skilled craftsmen meticulously fitting planks, while in the distance, a U.S. shipyard stands idle, its cranes still, under a greyer sky, with a few workers walking away, conveying a sense of contrasting fortunes.
