Oman: A 'bagala' in Muscat Harbour, 1838

Bagala: A high-sterned vessel of various burdens, from 50 to 300 tons, employed at Muscat and on the shores of Oman: the word signifying 'mule' among the Arabs, and therefore indicative of carrying rather than sailing. From 'The Sailor's Word-Book' (London, 1867).
