ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ghali (ship)

Imagine you are playing with toy boats in a bathtub. You have a big boat and now you want to make it move in the water. You push the big boat and it starts moving in the water. This movement in the water requires a lot of energy and effort. Now, imagine that big boat is called a "ghali". The ghali is a type of ship that is very big and heavy, and it needs a lot of energy to move in the water.

A ghali ship was used in the past by merchants to transport goods from one place to another. These ships were so big and heavy that it required a lot of people to help move it in the water. The people who worked on the ghali ship were called sailors. They had to row the ship with big oars or use sails to catch the wind and move the ship.

The ghali was usually made of wood and had a big belly to carry a lot of goods. The goods could be food, clothes, or even animals like camels. It could travel long distances and cross seas and oceans. The ghali ship was so big that it could carry a small town on it!

Nowadays, we have bigger and more powerful ships that can move faster and carry more goods than the ghali ship. But in the past, the ghali ship was a very important way to transport goods and people across the world.
