Large Early Galleon with Detailed Interior

Last crawled date: 1 year, 7 months ago

The perfect weapon for colonization & conquering distant lands. Every 16th century monarch needs at least two or three dozen of these in his fleet, so get yours before they're all gone! A large, four masted galleon from the mid to late 1500s. Square rigged fore and main mast, lateen mizzen with square topsail, & a lateen spanker. Delftship designed hull, with an elegant, seaworthy form, similar to the Mary Rose. Everything is done now. Calculated in Delftship as 1465 tons displacement sitting in the water as she is. The cannons and carriages would weigh 160 tons, with perhaps 200 tons of shot and powder. That's 14 30lb cast iron demi cannon on the lower gundeck, 18 17 lb bronze culverin ordinary on the lower and upper gundecks, 18 10lb bronze demi-culverin ordinary on the upper gundeck and weather deck, 6 long 9lb demi-culverin least as chasers fore and aft, and 16 1lb bronze Da Vinci Falconets on the castles. The hull would weigh around 410 tons, plus 100 tons of ballast. I figure a crew of about 450, including soldiers & gunners. Provisions for 180 days would weigh about 400 tons, while a crew that size would weigh 50 tons. The masts , rigging, sails, lines, boats, and anchors would add another 50 tons. That leaves just about 100 tons for trade goods, or additional soldiers for shorter expeditions.
