Gozo boat information


Painting of a Gozo boat in the Grand Harbour during World War I

The Gozo boat (Maltese: Dgħajsa ta' Għawdex, tal-latini, tat-tagħbija, tal-pass or tal-mogħdija) was a type of settee-rigged boat originating from Malta. Gozo boats were the main means of transport across the Gozo Channel between Gozo and the main island of Malta[1] from the late 19th to the mid-20th century. The design of the boats developed from the speronara.
