Description
Side view of a boom, a large double masted dhow (sailboat) built in Kuwait, moored along the shore of Bahrain Island. A boom sits in calm water rippled by gentle waves below a cloudless sky. A large cloth canopy covers the middle deck of the boom. In the far background a number of small dhows sail by farther out to see.
