Galleon
\Gal"le*on\, n. [Sp. galeon, cf. F. galion; fr. LL.
galeo, galio. See
Galley.] (Naut.)
A sailing vessel of the 15th and following centuries, often
having three or four decks, and used for war or commerce. The
term is often rather indiscriminately applied to any large
sailing vessel.
[1913 Webster]
The galleons . . . were huge, round-stemmed, clumsy
vessels, with bulwarks three or four feet thick, and
built up at stem and stern, like castles. --Motley.
