View of one of the dhows (sailboats) on which Wilfred Thesiger sailed through the Abu Dhabi islands with Sheikh Hazaa bin Sultan Al Nahyan and his retainers. A dhow sails directly into the foreground. At the far end of the yard a man is perched beneath the sail. Men crowd the deck of the dhow. At the back of the dhow, an awning is covered with white cloth. On the left a small canoe is being towed behind the dhow on a short rope. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's week and a half long sailing trip around the Abu Dhabi Islands with Sheikh Hazaa bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al Nahyan and their retainers in March 1948.
