About: Ghurab

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Ghurab or gurab is a type of merchant and warship from Nusantara archipelago. The ship was a result of Mediterranean influences in the region, particularly introduced by the Arabs, Persians, and Ottomans. For their war fleet, the Malays prefer to use shallow draught, oared longships similar to the galley, such as lancaran, ghurab, and ghali. This is very different from the Javanese who prefer long-range, deep draught round ships such as jong and malangbang. The reason for this difference is because the Malays operated their ships in riverine water, sheltered straits zone, and archipelagic environment, while the Javanese are often active in the open and high sea.

  • Ghurab atau gurab adalah jenis kapal niaga dan kapal perang dari kawasan Nusantara. Kapal ini adalah hasil dari pengaruh mediterania di kawasan, terutama diperkenalkan oleh orang Arab, Persia, dan Ottoman. Untuk armada perang mereka, orang Melayu lebih suka menggunakan kapal-kapal panjang dengan sarat air dangkal, berdayung, yang mirip dengan galai; contohnya lancaran, ghurab, dan ghali. Hal ini sangat berbeda dengan orang Jawa yang lebih menyukai kapal-kapal bundar dengan sarat air yang dalam dan dapat mencapai jarak jauh seperti jong dan malangbang. Alasan perbedaan ini adalah karena orang Melayu mengoperasikan kapal mereka di perairan sungai, zona selat terlindung, dan lingkungan kepulauan, sedangkan orang Jawa sering aktif di laut lepas dan berombak tinggi.:270-277, 290-291, 296-301:148, 155 (in)
