Description
View of sailors hoisting sails on a dhow (sailboat) in the Persian Gulf near Dubai. In the foreground a group of sailors stand on deck in two lines in front of the cockpit, below the dhow's main yard. Above them a sailor stands on the main yard pulling on some rigging. Behind him a large sail is filling with wind. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's May 18-28, 1948 journey by dhow from Dubai to Bahrain Island.
