Galleon ship - galeon (English spelling)

Japanese: ガレオン船 - がれおんせん(英語表記)galleon
Galleon ship - galeon (English spelling)

A large sailing ship used as a Spanish military and trading ship from the 16th to 19th centuries. The foremast and mainmast have two or three square sails, and the mizzenmast has a forked sail called a latein sail. The deck has three or four layers. It is said that this type of ship was created by lowering the forecastle of the carrack used in Spain and England in the 15th and 16th centuries, making it easier to sail upwind. This was the achievement of the Englishman Hawkins in 1570, and it is said that this was introduced to Spain 17 years later.

スペインの軍船、貿易船として16~19世紀に用いられた大型帆船。フォアマストとメインマストとには2~3枚の横帆をもち、ミズンマストにはラティーン・セールとよばれる縦帆をもつ。甲板は3層~4層程度の構造になっていた。15~16世紀にスペインやイギリスで用いられていたキャラック船の船首楼を低くして風上に切り上りやすくしてこの型の船がつくられたといわれる。これは1570年にイギリスのホーキンズの功績であり、これが17年後にスペインに伝えられたといわれる。
