This photograph captures the essence of traditional shipbuilding in Bombay Harbour, India during the 1920s. The image showcases an Arab dhow undergoing construction at the quayside. The dhow, a traditional Arabian sailing vessel, is being built using local materials and age-old techniques. The men in the photograph, dressed in simple loincloths, are meticulously working on the vessel's hull, supported by intricate scaffolding. The quay and dockside are bustling with activity, with other ships and vessels anchored in the harbor, adding to the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere. The Arab dhow, with its distinctive curved sails and slender hull, is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the industrious spirit and craftsmanship of the shipbuilders of Bombay Harbour.
