EU: Afrikaresa, Zanzibar - dhow fleet in harbour (1961)
1961 Zanzibar, Tanzania
This 1961 view over Zanzibar's harbour shows a fleet of dhows riding at anchor, the traditional lateen-rigged sailing vessels that carried trade along the East African coast for centuries. Stone Town's sheltered anchorage made it a natural stop for such craft.
