Description:
This Bangladesh man was in the process of siphoning gasoline from a drum that he was going to use to power his motor boat. With its flat bottom, the motorboat can maneuver in very shallow water, which made it quite useful transporting supplies and human resources very efficiently from village to village. This photograph provided by Dr. Stan Foster, and captured by Pierre Claquin, M.D., B.A.C., who at the time was a member of the World Health Organization's Smallpox Eradication Program. It was part of a series photographed by former E.I.S. officer, Stanley O. Foster M.D., M.P.H., and was one of a series entitled 'The Story of One Smallpox Jeep', which depicted the travails faced by the jeep, and its occupants of public health practitioners, as they road through the Bangladesh countryside in an attempt to eradicate smallpox from the country.
