Budgerow
open-in-new
<p>Budgerows were 'large and commodious, but generally cumbrous and sluggish keelless boats, used for journeys on the <a href="/facts/Ganges/q0IGurvB">Ganges</a>'. The term is thought to be an Anglicisation of the <a href="/facts/Hindi/n1QIEeCC">Hindi</a> and Bengali word bajrā possibly derived from baglā or Arabic bagara. </p>
