The Massive Ferry Launches of Sadarghat, Dhaka

Bangladesh has a lot of rivers - over 700 of them, in fact - and lots and lots of boats, big and small. Towering over them all are the massive river launches at Sadarghat.

Rising four stories above the water, these huge ships bustle about with the same casual air as the tiny river taxis, or "nouka."

In this video, I explore the Sadarghat terminal and take a look at these behemoths in action. At the dock, I got the chance to go on board several of these boats and take a close look.

I didn't go anywhere on the launches this time. This was an exploration and reconnaissance mission. Hopefully, in the days to come, I will take advantage of everything I learned and go for a ride down the Buriganga on my own launch adventure.

Come with me to explore one of the most fascinating places in Bangladesh.
