Description
View of sailors hoisting sails on a dhow (sailboat) travelling through the Persian Gulf from Dubai to Bahrain Island. A number of sailors line up on deck between the dhow's two masts. Above them one man stands on a wooden yard, pulling heavily on a rope. Behind him a large sail is being raised. In the background the sky is clear and the ocean is calm. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's May 18-28, 1948 journey by dhow from Dubai to Bahrain Island.

Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were archived by the Pitt Rivers Museum.
