A Dghajsa is a traditional Maltese boat, characterized by its unique design and vibrant colors. These small, wooden vessels are typically used for fishing and transportation in the coastal waters of Malta. The Dghajsa features a pointed bow and a flat stern, making it well-suited for navigating the Mediterranean Sea. Historically, Dghajsa boats were rowed by oarsmen, but many are now equipped with engines for easier travel. They are often seen in the picturesque harbors of Valletta and Marsaxlokk, where they serve as a symbol of Maltese maritime culture and heritage.
