Shipyard Dhaka - Rebuilding vessels

Shipyard Dhaka is a place located on Buriganga River, in Old Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan (East Pakistan) until 1971. After a war of liberation it becomes an independent country.

Here exact position on the map:

Shipyard Dhaka is a place where vessels and oil tankers are dismantle and rebuilt, part by part, giving them a new life.

You can reach this place on a wooden boat from the other river side:

Place is relative narrow, plenty of vessels, next to small houses, a sort of village where workers live.

(burning garbage - I can't image how many poisons they breathe every day...)

Many workers are hanging on hulls, using precarious wooden scaffolding,
smoothing and sanding, without suitable protection (generally with only a pair of glass and a foulard):

Here a worker managing the oil taken inside vessels:

Injuries are common, and the work is something similar to hell, despite of this, people are great workers, tireless and often smiling!

I met a poor man, he asked me money to take a medicine for asthma (or something related to breathe), I gave to him some money and he placed his hand on my shoulder, thanking Allah...

Me taken pics (thanks Filippo):

Here the place where they pour molten bronze into molds (molds are underground, made with sand) to build the new propellers. All without protection and gloves, and with naked feet. I have been here and I can say temperature was extremely high!
