A
dhow
, a traditional
sailing vessel
that originated in the
Indian Ocean
and
Red Sea
areas, sailing past the East African island of
Zanzibar
. Dhows are characterised by one or more
masts
with
lateen sails
and typically have long, thin
hulls
. Even to the present day, dhows make commercial journeys between the
Persian Gulf
and East Africa.
