Summary

Description
English: A model of Lanchang To'Aru, from Bandar. Malay two-masted ship, fore and aft rigged. This is very similar to the other lanchang in hull, but the model has short masts, and two badly cut and fitted fore and aft gaff and boom sails. She would need very much a larger spread of head canvas, and boats thus rigged on the east coast generally carry long topmasts and jibbooms for light-weather sails.

To'Aru was one of the council of four great chiefs of Selangor, who in former days had much power, and to whom was entrusted the election of the Sultan. To'Aru was the most powerful of these four great chiefs, and took his name from a district called Aru, in Sumatra, from which he came over to settle in Selangor. Aru is probably the same as the word Aru (also eru or 'ru), which means a casuarina-tree. Bandar was the name of the place (on the Langat river) where To'Aru lived.
Bahasa Indonesia: Sebuah model dari Lancang To'Aru, dari Bandar. Kapal 2 tiang Melayu, dengan sistem layar depan-dan-belakang. Ia sangat mirip dengan lancang lainnya untuk lambungnya, tetapi modelnya memiliki tiang pendek, dan dua layar depan-dan-belakang gap dan bom yang jelek. Dia akan membutuhkan penyebaran kanvas kepala yang lebih besar, dan kapal-kapal yang memasang sistem layar itu di pantai timur umumnya membawa tiang atas panjang dan bom cucur untuk layar cuaca ringan.

To'Aru adalah salah satu dewan dari empat pemimpin besar Selangor, yang pada masa lalu memiliki banyak kekuasaan, dan kepada siapa dipercayakan pemilihan Sultan. To'Aru adalah yang paling kuat dari keempat pemimpin besar ini, dan mengambil namanya dari sebuah distrik bernama Aru, di Sumatra, dari mana ia datang untuk menetap di Selangor. Aru mungkin sama dengan kata Aru (juga eru atau 'ru), yang berarti pohon casuarina. Bandar adalah nama tempat di sungai Langat tempat To'Aru tinggal.
