Description
Side view of kotias, large double masted dhows (sailboats) from India, moored at Bahrain Island. In the centre distance a kotia sits in choppy water, its bow pointing towards the left, its sails tied down. The kotia has a steeply inclined transom stern. On the left a number of dhows are moored in the background, while in the far distance buildings line the coast of Bahrain Island.
