Score another point for “the good guys!”
We came up on one of these coastal dhows sinking just outside of Bahrain territorial waters once. We sent a damage control team over to help but it was too late. The guys on the whale boat watching said the most amazing part of the sinking was the huge quantities of vermin coming up from the hold as it filled with water. Rats, mice, spiders, scorpions and other insects all scrambling up the mast to stay out of the water.
The Arctic was originally built with light self-defense capability, but the defensive weapons have apparently been stripped from the ship.
