Product Description

Product Description

During the middle decade of the 16th century a new type of sailing vessel emerged, designed to carry the wealth of Americas to Spain. This was the galleon, and over the next century these vessels would serve Spain well as treasure ships and war ships, becoming a symbol of Spanish power and wealth during the period. This book traces the development of the Spanish Galleon, and outlines the constructional methods, the ordnance and the crewing needed to produce and maintain these stately vessels. It examines the role of the galleon as a treasure ship, and describes how these ships were manned and fought in action.

5.0 out of 5 stars the spanish galleon, 7 Feb 2009
By Mr. R. G. Raszler "raz" (portsmouth england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As an artist I enjoy painting scenes that have maritime scenarios, so I want the vessels to be authentic as possible with regards to colouring etc.
This little book has it all and speaking as a pensioner, good value too.
