Description
View of the stern of a kotia, a large double masted dhow (sailboat) from India, moored at Bahrain Island. A kotia sits in choppy water, its bow pointing into the far distance. The kotia has a transom stern that is steeply inclined. Long lengths of wood sit along the gunwales of the port (left) side of the ship. In the far distance a number of dhows are moored, while in the far background buildings line the shores of Bahrain Island.
