The history of DHOW MODEL BOAT MEDIUM
For many centuries, boats that sailed on the Indian Ocean were called dhows and were distinguishable from ships that sailed on the Mediterranean or China Sea by the shape of the Dhow's triangular sails. Despite its historical attachment to Arab traders, dhows are essentially an Indian boat, with much of the wood for its construction coming from the forests of India. The dhow was known for two distinctive features including its aforementioned triangular or lateen sail, and also for its stitched construction. Stitched boats were made by sewing the hull boards together with fibers, cords or thongs.
Our Dhow model boat medium is an exquisite replica of this iconic vessel. It's handcrafted by skilled artisans using the best traditional shipbuilding methods, with utmost attention to detail. This wooden model boat boasts of a stitched construction and features a triangular sail that is true to the original vessel. It's a museum-quality model boat that will take you back in time to the days of pearl divers, fishermen, merchants, smugglers, and adventurers.
