famous ships of Columbus. The Anatomy of the Ship series provides
the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types

Spanish
Galleon 1530-1690 - During the middle decade of the 16th
century a new type of sailing vessel emerged, designed to
carry the wealth of the Americas to Spain. This was the galleon,
and over the next century these vessels would serve Spain
well as treasure ships and warships, becoming a symbol of
Spanish power and wealth during the period. The development
and construction of the Spanish galleon are discussed in this
book, and the ordnance and crewing needed to produce and maintain
these stately vessels is covered. The author also examines
the role of the galleon as a treasure ship, and describes
how these ships were manned and fought in action.
