| La Girona1588, Lacada Point, County Antrim A GALLEASS of the Spanish Armada had taken on 800 survivors from two other wrecks only to sink in a gale. |
| Compared to the low, crowded galley, the galleass was a roomy and much more seaworthy ship. |
| The galleass was a larger, heavier form of galley, with three masts and often with a raised, protected platform at the stern and bow from which cannon were fired. |
| The galleass was patched up, and De Leyva ventured an attempt to make his way in her to Scotland. |
| The galleass was the most splendid vessel of her kind afloat, Don Hugo one of the greatest of Spanish grandees. |
| The galleass had gone on the sands, and as the tide ebbed had fallen over on her side. |
