....the Islanders in most areas of the Pacific depended on continuous contact with Europeans for the supply of pipes, but in some parts of the Solomon Islands, the inhabitants established a clay pipe manufacturing industry which satisfied, in part at least, the newly-acquired habit and lessened native dependence on Europeans. ....the pipe-making craft...developed on Buka Island at the northern end of the Solomon Islands in the late nineteenth century, .. and was adopted by villages which did not traditionally make pottery.
