Description
View of the rear of a j?lb?t [jalboot], a small type of dhow (sailboat), in the Persian Gulf between Dubai Emirate and Bahrain Island. A small rowboat is moored alongside the stern of a j?lb?t in the midst of a calm flat ocean. A number of sailors are visible on deck, while above them a large white sail flies from a mast. In the far distance a few dhows can be seen along the horizon. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's May 18-28, 1948 journey by dhow from Dubai to Bahrain Island.
