A baghlah, bagala or baggala ((アラビア語:بغلة)) is a large deep-sea dhow, a traditional Arabic sailing vessel.〔Clifford W. Hawkins, ''The dhow: an illustrated history of the dhow and its world''〕 The name "baghla" means "mule" in the Arabic language. ==Description== The baghlah dhows had a curved prow with a stem-head, an ornately carved stern and quarter galleries. Their average length was with an average weight of 275 tons. Usually they had two masts using two to three lateen sails; supplementary sails like a jib were often added on the bowsprit, as well as on a topmast atop the main mast.〔(Too Late to Document Dhows? )〕 As a large and heavy ship the baghlah required a crew of at least 30 sailors. Some had even up to 40.〔Thabit A. J. Abdullah, ''The Political Economy of Trade in Eighteenth-Century Basra'', SUNY series in the Social and Economic History of the Middle East , 2000, ISBN 978-0-7914-4808-3〕 The ''ghanjah'' or ''kotiya'' is a similar type of vessel, often difficult to distinguish from the baghlah.〔(The Traditional Dhow )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baghlah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
