Saeed Bin Butti
Saeed bin Butti (Arabic سعيد بن بطي ) was the third Ruler of Dubai, succeeding Maktoum bin Butti bin Suhail on his death in 1852. He was a signatory to the landmark treaty with the British, the Perpetual Maritime Truce of 1853. The brother of Maktoum, who died of natural causes, Saeed inherited a small but thriving coastal community. Maktoum's own son, Hasher, was considered too young to rule. Perpetual Maritime Truce Dubai's burgeoning pearl fishing fleet competed with those of Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the other coastal towns and annual treaties were made between the Rulers and the British to safeguard the various fleets during the pearling season. These treaties were signed between 1835 and 1843 and then superseded by a ten-year treaty signed in June 1843. This treaty, policed by the British, was generally agreed to have been successful and so the British political resident in Bushire, a Captain Kemball, proposed a permanent treaty.

Hasher Bin Maktoum
Hasher bin Maktoum bin Butti Al Maktoum () acceded to become the Ruler of Dubai in 1859, following the unexpected death by natural causes of his uncle, Sheikh Saeed bin Butti. Rule Still young at the time of his accession, Hasher ruled over a period of economic prosperity and growth for Dubai. The maritime truce made with the British created an environment where coastal trade could flourish. The diversity of that trade included a lively market for slaves from Africa and elsewhere, and the British, contrary to their original intentions in establishing treaty relations with the Trucial Rulers, found themselves becoming more involved with the activities of the coastal communities. In 1847, they promulgated a treaty for the suppression of the slave trade, which was signed by Hasher and the other Trucial Rulers in 1856. Under Hasher's rule, the disparate economies of the districts around the core settlement of Dubai were brought together, particularly those of Bur Dubai, Deira, Hamriya ...
