Sambuk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sanbuk (ultimately from Middle Persian sanbūk[1]), known in New Persian as Sunbūk (سنبوک), in Turkish as Zambuk and in Arabic as Sanbūk (سنبوك), Sanbūq (سنبوق) and Ṣunbūq (صنبوق), is a type of dhow, a traditional wooden sailing vessel. It has a characteristic keel design, with a sharp curve right below the top of the prow. Formerly sanbuks had ornate carvings.[2]
