Portrait of three of Wilfred Thesiger's sailing companions on the deck of a sailboat (dhow) in the Abu Dhabi islands. Two men sit at the stern of a sailboat. The man on the right holds a young boy in his lap. The man at the left kneels beside the boat rail on a woven mat. Behind the men a lantern hangs from the cloth-covered frame of the boat's awning. In the background a rowboat bobs behind the boat in a calm, flat sea. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's week and a half long sailing trip around the Abu Dhabi Islands with Sheikh Hazaa bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al Nahyan and their retainers in March 1948.
