Is this the same as a Luzzu? I didn't realise 'dghajsa' applied to the larger ones.

Bigger than a Luzzu and for cargo not fishing. Dghajsa just means boat and the usual Grand Harbour ones are Dghajsa tal-Pass. There was also a utilitarian Dghajsa tad-Dockyard. (All this from an overpriced book I bought from Sapienzas)
