Dhow
A dhow is a traditional boat design with one or more triangular sails, called lateens. It is indigenous to the coasts of the Arabian Peninsula, India, and East Africa.
They also often incorporate a kamal, a navigation device that determines latitude by finding the height of the Pole Star above the horizon.
