Most of the damage was to the older ships, from galleys to galleons and frigates to pre-dreadnaught steamers. |
Fleet B consisted of around 216 galleys, 56 galliots, and other smaller vessels. |
The Algerian Admiral Ochiali outmanoeuvring the Genoese Admiral Doria, swept in from seaward with his fleet of sixty galleys and thirty galliots. |
The primary warships during this period progressed gradually from oared galleys to sailing vessels. |
The Turks numbered some 274 galleys and galliots with altogether 88,000 men. |
The galleys led the way, and in their van rode three of the four great galliasses, thrashing the sea to foam with three hundred oars apiece. |
