.( ) During the
period under review they have given rise to no political problem but the pearl
industry as a whole has suffered a very serious decline and except in the Trucial
States, where no oil has yet been produced, has ceased to have any substantial
economic importance. The first blow to the industry was the introduction of the
Japanese cultured pearl in the 'thirties of this century, and it suffered a further
decline from the lack of demand resulting from the war and its aftermath. Apart
from this most of the class who used to obtain a precarious livelihood from pearling
now prefer regular and more lucrative employment with an oil company. At the
beginning of the century according to Lorimer the number of Bahrain boats
employed in pearling exceeded 900. In 1953 the number was only 30.
