HISTORY OF ARAB DHOW: KNOW THE MODEL YOU WILL BUILD

Discover Sultan, a wooden model ship of this traditional Arabian dhow from the coasts of the Arabian Peninsula, India and East Africa. This boat was the primary instrument in the commerce and in the propagation of the Islamic faith. Also, the dhow was mainly used as cargo ship: grain, fish, minerals and even slaves.

The exact origin of the dhow is unknown, although its appearance seems to be linked to Islam. Revolutionary in naval history for its triangular sails and practically unchanged since its initial designs, it is believed that the dhow was the germ for the construction of Venetian galleys and caravels, favoring the creation of larger ships with mixed sails. The dhows are still sailing along the shores of the Indian Ocean.
