In the 14th century, there was an Admiral of Sulawesi who had four sons. The Admiral promised to give a gift of a newly built ship made at that time: the Phinisi Ship — but only to one of his sons.
To determine who will win the ship in Perahu Buru-Buru, the Admiral of the Bugis tribe challenged his sons to sail on the open seas by boat. The one who best manages to navigate the waters will win.
