Gallivat

The gallivat (or galivat, or gallevat, or gallowet, or gallouet) was a small, armed boat, with sails and oars, used on the Malabar Coast in the 18th and 19th centuries.The word may derive from Portuguese "galeota" or alternatively, from the Maratha "gal hat" ship.Generally, each of his grabs would have an attendant gallivat, both to tow it in calms and to carry extra men.[3] In 1754, a listing of Sidhi vessels seized by the EIC and held at Surat in 1759 gives the names of seven gallivats.The largest gallivat, Shark(e), had a crew of six Europeans, six "Christian topasses", 20 lascars, and 16 soldiers.
