About this product

Product Information

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.

    The Vanguard series sets the standard on affordable, well-illustrated introductory-level subjects such as this. This book examines the Spanish Galleon at the height of its craft, explaining the purpose, historical evolution, mission usage, charts identifying the various components, daily life and combat aboard the big ships. This little book is a BIG value!
