In Pakistan, fishing is an integral part of the local culture, especially in coastal areas like Karachi and Gwadar. The best small fishing boats are often traditional wooden vessels, known as \“dhows,\“ which are handcrafted by skilled artisans. These boats are designed for stability and efficiency in the Arabian Sea, allowing fishermen to navigate shallow waters and catch a variety of fish such as pomfret and shrimp. Over time, modern materials like fiberglass have been incorporated, but the cultural significance remains strong, with fishing communities passing down techniques through generations. This blend of tradition and innovation makes these boats a vital aspect of Pakistan\“s maritime heritage. |
