Engineering:Guilalo
Guilalo (also spelled gilalo, jilalo, bilalo, or guilálas), were large native sailing outrigger ships of the Tagalog people in the Philippines . They were common vessels in Manila Bay in the 18th and 19th centuries.[1][2] They were easily identifiable by their two large settee sails made with woven fiber. They were steered by a central rudder and can be rowed with round-bladed oars.[3][4][5][6]
They ferried passengers and trade goods (like dried fish and fruits) between Manila and Cavite.[7][8] They were also used in the Batangas region.[9]
They were also sometimes referred to as tafurea (or tarida) in Spanish, due to their similarity in appearance to the Medieval European tafurea, a flat-bottomed sailing ship used to transport horses.[10] They are also sometimes known as "panco", a Spanish general term for bangka.[11]
