View of sailors on a dhow (sailboat) travelling through the Persian Gulf from Dubai to Bahrain Island. On the right three men stand at the side of the ship. Two of the men are on a trunk, one man standing, the other crouching by the poop rail. To their left the third man stands on the deck, pulling a thick rope. On the far left two more men stand near the mast, and in the background a large white sail billows out with the wind. In the background the choppy sea sits beneath a clear sky. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's May 18-28, 1948 journey by dhow from Dubai to Bahrain Island.
