註釋A product of over two hundred interviews with shipwrights and seamen in the Arabian Gulf and Oman over a period of nine years, this book compares information given firsthand with the literature already written on the dhow and on Arab seafaring in the past seventy years. Documenting the dhow as an important element in the prosperity of the area before the discovery of oil, the book discusses the geographical conditions and the historical-linguistic background of each dhow-type, the life-pattern in its role as cargo, pearl-diving, and also how the seafaring communities interacted with the dhow world.
