Dhow is the generic name of a number of traditional sailing vessels with one or more masts with lateen sails used in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean region. The exact origins of the dhow are lost to history. Most scholars believe that it originated in China between 600 B.C. to 600 A.D. Some claim that the sambuk, a type of dhow, may be derived from the Portuguese caravel. Centuries old in design, boats like the Al Bahran are still used in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf for fishing and coastal trading. During the colonial occupation, the Italian Navy armed them with 37 mm guns.
