Ghanjah

[2] The ghanjah dhows had a curved prow with a characteristic trefoil ornament carved on top of the stem-head.

[3] The ghanjah is often difficult to distinguish from the baghlah, a similar type of dhow.

Besides the trefoil-shaped carving on top of the stem-head, ghanjahs usually had a more slender shape.

[5] Many ghanjahs were built at traditional shipyards in Sur, Oman,[6] as well as in Beypore, Kerala, India.

Ghanjahs were largely replaced by the newer-designed and easier to maneuver booms in the 20th century.
