Scow

(in Russian, shalanda), a small, shallow-draft vessel used in loading and unloading large ships lying in roads and for transporting earth or small cargoes. Large scows are usually self-propelled. Scows that are used to remove earth excavated by dredges are usually equipped with doors in the bottom for dumping. The Russian word shalanda is also used for flat-bottomed, sail-rigged fishing boats that have a centerboard and that operate on the Black Sea.
