Galleon was a powerful war vessel, very widespread between the 15th and 17th centuries, designed and built to cope with long ocean voyages. The Galleon was the fruit of evolution and maritime progress, originating initially from the caravel and then from the carrack, with the aim of having a faster and more manageable ship, it was generally about 40 meters long and 10 meters wide. Unlike ships of the time, the Galleon was designed to make long ocean voyages with innovations that allowed for greater stability and better wind resistance, resulting in a ship that was faster and easier to maneuver than previous ones. The forecastles were not eliminated even though they complicated navigation as they were very effective during military operations, making defense against boardings more efficient. The Galleon had the advantage of having cheaper construction costs compared to other ships and the maneuvering system was greatly improved in order to be able to manage the ship with a reduced crew, as many sailors perished during the long times spent at sea in due to poor hygiene and safety conditions. The construction of a Galleon was a long and very demanding undertaking for which groups and companies of wealthy people were created who pooled their funds.
