Close view of dhows moored ...

Close view of dhows moored along the shore of Bahrain Island. Two small dhows sit alongside a moored boom, a type of large double masted dhow (sailboat) built in Kuwait, in calm, gently rippled water. A number of men stand in the small dhow on the right. Behind them more men stand on the deck of the boom near the main mast. On the left a large canopy made from palm fronds covers the stern of the boom.
