EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of maritime history along the East African coast, as an Arab dhow glides effortlessly through the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Dhow boats, such as this one, have been a vital part of the region's transportation network for centuries, connecting various coastal communities and islands. The dhow in this image, taken in 1927, is a testament to the enduring design and craftsmanship of these traditional vessels. With their distinctive lateen sails and slender hulls, dhows were perfectly adapted to the monsoon winds and currents of the Indian Ocean. The boats were typically constructed using local materials, such as timber from the mangrove forests, and were built using age-old techniques passed down through generations. The East African coast has a rich and complex history, with influences from Arab, European, and African cultures shaping the region's identity. Dhows played a crucial role in this history, serving as the primary means of transportation for goods, people, and ideas. They facilitated trade between the various coastal settlements and islands, as well as with the Arabian Peninsula and the wider Indian Ocean world. Despite the advent of modern transportation methods, dhows continue to be used in various capacities along the East African coast. Their distinctive silhouette remains a familiar sight on the horizon, evoking a sense of history, tradition, and the enduring connection between the people of this region and the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean.
