galleon
A galleon was a large, multi-decked sailing ship used primarily by European states from the 16th to 18th centuries.
==Etymology==
The term ''Galleon'' large ship, comes from Old French ''Galion'' "little ship" (13c.), from Spanish (Castilian) ''Galeón'' "armed merchant ship", from Portuguese ''Galeão'' "war ship", from Byzantine Greek ''Galea'' "galley" + augmentative suffix ''-on''.〔http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=galleon〕 Another possible origin is the Old French word ''galie'' meaning "galley". The term was originally given to certain types of war galleys in the Middle Ages. The ''Annali Genovesi'' mentions galleons of 80, 64 and 60 oars, used for battle and on missions of exploration, in the 12th and 13th centuries. It is very likely that the ''galleons'' and ''galliots'' mentioned in the accounts of the crusades were the same vessels. Later, when the term started to be applied to sail only vessels, it meant, like the English term "man of war", a warship that was otherwise no different from the other sailing ships of the time.
