Here's the caption, with an English translation courtesy of DeepL.

Abb. 140. Ein schön gezeichnetes und verziertes Segelboot von den Hermitinseln, das für längere Reisen bestimmt ist. Die Muster an den Bootswänden sind braun und weiß gemalt, an den einwärts gebogenen Enden des Kiels an Bug und Heck hängen Federbüschel herab.

Fig. 140. A beautifully painted and decorated sailboat from the Hermit Islands, intended for longer voyages. The patterns on the sides of the boat are painted brown and white, and bunches of feathers hang down from the inwardly curved ends of the keel at the bow and stern.
