1588 GALLIASS
Galleasses were military ships developed from large merchant galleys. Converted for
military use, they were higher, larger and slower than regular ("light") galleys. They had
up to 32 oars, each worked by up to 5 men. They usually had three masts and a
forecastle and aftcastle. Much effort was made in Venice to make these galleasses as
fast as possible to compete with regular galleys. The gun deck usually ran over the
rowers' heads, but there are also pictures showing the opposite arrangement.
