Guilalo (also spelledgilalo,jilalo,bilalo, orguilálas), were largeTagalogoutrigger ships from thePhilippines. They were common vessels inManila Bay in the 18th and 19th centuries.[1][2] They were easily identifiable by their two largesettee sails made with woven fiber. They were steered by a centralrudder and can be rowed with round-bladed oars.[3][4][5][6]
They were also sometimes referred to astafurea (ortarida) inSpanish, due to their similarity in appearance to theMedieval Europeantafurea, a flat-bottomed sailing ship used totransport horses.[10] They are also sometimes known as "panco", a Spanish general term forbangka.[11]
