17th January, 1929.,
In reference to the boat-building industry in Bahrein, it may be of
interest to note:^
for the year to December, 1926,
new craft built and sold in Bahrein were 119; old craft purchased, $0,
for the year to December, 1927,
new craft built and sold in Bahrein were 7^J old craft purchased, 10.
for the year to December, 1928,
new craft built and sold in Bahrein were 89; old craft purchased, 14.
It will be remembered that quite a number of craft were damaged or lost
in the great storm of 1-2 October 1925; and consequently there would be heavier
building in 1926.
The year 1926 was not a very good pearling season; consequently in 1927
there would not be quite so much money available for expenditure on boat-building.
'1’he year 1927 had a good pearling season, and consequently we see that
more craft were built and purchased in 1028.
The craftsmen at Naim complain, as ever, that business is slack and they
are not well paid for their boats; but I notice that they are prettily steadily
emoloyed both on new craft and on repairs. Next spring they will of course be
busier, on the approach of the pearling season. I think it true to say that the
industry is steady and firm with a slight upward tendency.
In regard to the canvas-weaving and sail-baking industry; this is
steady and copes with the local demand. A settlement of about six families was
made at Budayeh in 1924; but this languished owing to lack of drinking-water, and
the families departed. Thus we find that fresh centres of the industry have

land, they are kept busily at work. These workers are all aanaranas; ounerwxse
it might perhaps be well if they were settled at Naim close to the boat-building
industry. yTZX
