galleass

Compared to the low, crowded galley, the galleass was a roomy and much more seaworthy ship.

The galleass's guns were high above the water, and the galleys dreaded their plunging fire.

The galleass represented in Fig. 46 had a circular forecastle in which were mounted several guns, to be used in end-on attack.

The third, the great galleass "Florencia," went down in Tobermory Bay.

The galleass had gone on the sands, and as the tide ebbed had fallen over on her side.
