The exact origin of the Dhow is unknown, although his appearance seems to be linked to Islam. Revolutionary in naval history for their triangular and virtually unchanged from their initial designs sails, it is believed that the Dhow was the germ for the construction of the Venetian galleys and caravels, promoting the creation of larger ships with mixed sails. The dhows still sail along the coasts of the Indian Ocean.
