Wave-crasher

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wave-crashers, or “Mbeukk-mi” in Woloff, are long wooden boats painted in bright blue or yellow. They are constructed in West-Africa, more precisely along the Senegalese shoreline (and perhaps Gambia, and some other countries too).

[edit] Controversy

It has been reported that in Senegal, they are used to ferry large numbers of migrants overseas.
