View of a beached sambuk ... Thesiger CollectionView of a beached sambuk (sailboat) under repair at Al Ma'ala harbour in the city of Aden. In the foreground two men stand beside a man standing on a oil drum in front of the sambuk. A large ladder leans against the boat and a forth man sits at the top of the bow on the boat.
