ARABIAN PORTS BAHRAIN During the four months on station in the Persian Gulf, Bahrain was HAWES ' home away from home. The ship made 6 port visits for a total of 6 days at Mina Suhnan Pier located on the northeastern tip of Bahrain Is- land in Manamah and 6 days at Sitrah Anchorage. Although the principle reason for port visits to Bahrain was to pick up parts and stores, there were many educational attractions down- town like The Londoner and The Sad- dle. Other points of interest include the Gold Suq, Ateem Center and, of course, ASU. No one can deny that it was HAWES ' numerous port calls to Bahrain at Sitrah Anchorage that gave a somewhat horrible meaning to the phrase WATER TAXI.
