Ever since Kuwait emerged in the 18th century as a young maritime state with an extreme dependence on the sea, it has been renowned for the consummate skills of its sailors and dhow-builders.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Al-Hijji has produced the most comprehensive description of dhow-building so far published. ...Almost uniquely among books on traditional craft, Al-Hijji includes a chapter that puts names and faces to some of Kuwait's most famous boat-builders. ...The construction process is the book's core and its greatest contribution to our understanding of the dhow." -- Eric Kentley, Journal of Maritime Research, September 2002.
