Book Synopsis In the Wake of the Dhow by : Dionisius A. Agius
Book excerpt: The Arabian dhow, with its characteristic features, is one of the evocative images of the Gulf, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. This book features over two hundred interviews with shipwrights and seamen in the Arabian Gulf and Oman. It compares information given firsthand with the literature already written on the dhow and on Arab seafaring.
