The Mekong Delta was travelled

in style on a Glasgow designed

boat.

The RV Indochina hull was a pre second world war

Glasgow design for carrying freight in SE Asia. About 600

of these hulls were built with a very shallow draught. The

Burmese scuttled hundreds of them to avoid falling into

Japanese hands during WW2. The hull design is

outstanding for getting tourists ashore alongside very

shallow river banks. This boat, in common with others, had

tourist accommodation built on top of the basic hull

structure. She was built in the early 90’s
