List Of Galleons Of Spain
This is a list of a few of the carracks and galleons that served under the Spanish Crowns in the period 1410-1639; note that Castile and Aragon were separate nations, brought together in 1474 only through a unified Trastamaran and subsequently Habsburg monarchy, but each retaining its own governments and naval forces until the 18th century. From 1580 to 1640 Portugal was also part of this Habsburg Empire, but again its naval forces remained separate and are not included below. Not all these ships listed were built in Spain or its colonies: Galleons * ''Santa Clara'' - Captured by England c. 1413, renamed ''Holyghost de la Tour'' * ''San Felipe'' (carrack) - Captured by England 1587 * ''Santiago el Mayor'' (c. 1584) * '' San Martin'' 48 * ''San Francisco'' 52 * ''Santa Ana'' 47 * ''Santa Ana'' 30 * ''Trinidad Valencera'' 22 * ''Nuestra Senora del Pilar'' 11 * ''Santa Cruz'' 18 * ''San Juan de Gargoriu'' 16 * ''La Lavia'' 30 * ''Santiago el Mayor'' 24 * ''Santa Maria de Gracia'' 2 ...

Carrack
A carrack (; ; ; ) is a three- or four- masted ocean-going sailing ship that was developed in the 14th to 15th centuries in Europe, most notably in Portugal. Evolved from the single-masted cog, the carrack was first used for European trade from the Mediterranean to the Baltic and quickly found use with the newly found wealth of the trade between Europe and Africa and then the trans-Atlantic trade with the Americas. In their most advanced forms, they were used by the Portuguese for trade between Europe and Asia starting in the late 15th century, before eventually being superseded in the 17th century by the galleon, introduced in the 16th century. In its most developed form, the carrack was a carvel-built ocean-going ship: large enough to be stable in heavy seas, and capacious enough to carry a large cargo and the provisions needed for very long voyages. The later carracks were square-rigged on the foremast and mainmast and lateen- rigged on the mizzenmast. They had a high roun ...

English Ship Dainty (1588)
''Dainty'' was an English race-built galleon that began to be built in 1588. The original name was ''Repentance'', but this was soon changed. She participated in some naval engagements in the Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604). In 1593 she sailed from England under Richard Hawkins to navigate the Pacific Ocean and circumnavigate the world, but was captured the following year by the Spaniards when she was sailing off the coast of what is now Ecuador. She was commissioned by the Spaniards as ''Nuestra Señora de la Visitación'' (or ''Visitación''), serving in the South Pacific for several years. Construction In 1588, the privateer Richard Hawkins, son of John Hawkins and cousin of Francis Drake, began building a ship on the River Thames to become independent of his father and sail towards the Pacific Ocean, emulating Drake and Thomas Cavendish. It has been described as a larger ship than the , but it had the same essential attributes, being ''"profitable for stowage, good of sail, ...

List Of Spanish Sail Frigates
This is a list of Spanish sail frigates built or acquired during the period 1700-1854 Spanish frigates generally had religious names, often the names of saints or "our Lady". Those with primarily secular names (such as royal, geographical or adjectival names) usually had additionally a religious name (''Avocación'' or ''alias''), which is listed below in the second column where known. An asterisk (*) in the "Launch date" column indicates the date of acquisition (purchase or capture) for vessels not built for the Spanish Navy. The Habsburg Era - pre 1700 During the 17th century, and for much of the first half of the 18th century, the term 'frigate' (or 'fragata' in Spanish) encompassed ships with two complete gundecks rated at about 50 guns as well as smaller single-decked vessels. The smaller frigates evolved from the fast and lightly-armed vessels built chiefly on the coast of (Spanish) Flanders, and employed in the English Channel and southern North Sea, as well as escorting ...

List Of Ships Of The Line Of Spain
This is a list of Spanish ships of the line (comprising the battlefleet) built or acquired during the period 1640-1854: Those with 94 or more guns were three-deckers, while all the others listed were two-deckers. The Spanish term for ships of the line was ''navíos'', but during the latter part of the Habsburg era (until 1700) ships continued to be designated as ''galeón''. Those ships with secular names (e.g. royal, geographical or adjectival names) were additionally given an official religious name (or ''advocación'') which appears below in parentheses following the secular name. Until 1716 there was not one single Spanish Navy but several naval forces, of which the ''Armada del Mar Océano'' was the primary one but several other distinct forces existed. The ''Real Armada'' ("Royal Navy") was created by the newly-established Bourbon government in 1716, but the other ''armadas'' (in Spanish, the word "armada" is used for both "navy" and "fleet") endured for several years thereaft ...

List Of Battleships Of Spain
In the latter half of the 19th century, the Spanish Navy had built a series of ironclad warships that culminated in the barbette ship ''Pelayo'' in the 1880s. Following the destruction of much of the Spanish fleet in the Spanish–American War in 1898, Spain slowly began to rebuild its navy. In the early 20th century, the Spanish Navy built three battleships and planned several more; the three ships that were completed were the vessels of the . These ships were the smallest dreadnought-type battleships ever built. A further three ships of the were authorized by the Navy Law of 1913, but the outbreak of World War I prevented these ships from being built, as Spain was heavily dependent on Great Britain for material and technical expertise. The three completed battleships all served in the Rif War in North Africa, where the lead ship, ''España'', ran aground and was wrecked. Following the end of the First World War, occasional plans for the construction of new battleships ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ship Of The Line
A ship of the line was a type of naval warship constructed during the Age of Sail from the 17th century to the mid-19th century. The ship of the line was designed for the naval tactic known as the line of battle, which depended on the two columns of opposing warships maneuvering to volley fire with the cannons along their broadsides. In conflicts where opposing ships were both able to fire from their broadsides, the opponent with more cannons firingand therefore more firepowertypically had an advantage. Since these engagements were almost invariably won by the heaviest ships carrying more of the most powerful guns, the natural progression was to build sailing vessels that were the largest and most powerful of their time. From the end of the 1840s, the introduction of steam power brought less dependence on the wind in battle and led to the construction of screw-driven wooden-hulled ships of the line; a number of purely sail-powered ships were converted to this propulsion mech ...

Capture Of The Galleon Lion Couronné
The Capture of the galleon ''Lion Couronné'' was a naval engagement that took place off Formentera on 17 June 1651, during the Franco-Spanish War (1635–1659). A squadron of eleven Spanish galleys under John of Austria the Younger captured the French galleon ''Lion Couronné'' after a fight. Events Background In early 1651, the Spaniards began preparations for a military campaign against the Catalan Revolt and its ally France, taking advantage of several favorable circumstances to carry it out. The viceroy of Sicily, John of Austria, was chosen by the Spanish government to lead this campaign, which consisted of recovering Barcelona. On May 28, John sailed from Palermo to Catalonia with a squadron of eleven galleys and four transport ships with 40,000 bushels of wheat. Six of the galleys were from Naples, under Alvaro de Meló, due to the temporary absence of Commander Joanetín Doria; and five galleys from Sicily, under the Marquis of Bayonne.

Action Of San Mateo Bay
The action of San Mateo Bay or action of Atacames Bay was a naval engagement which took place from 29 June to 1 July 1594 between the galleon ''Dainty'' under the command of English privateer Richard Hawkins and a Spanish squadron of three galleons commanded by Beltrán de Castro at the mouth of the Esmeraldas river, nowadays Ecuador. Background In 1593 Hawkins, a nephew of Sir Francis Drake, purchased the ''Dainty'', a ship originally built for his father as ''Repentance'' and used by him in his expeditions, and sailed for the West Indies, the Spanish Main, and the South Seas. It seems clear that his project was to prey on the overseas possessions of the Spanish crown. Hawkins, however, in an account of the voyage written 30 years afterwards, maintained that his expedition was undertaken purely for the purpose of geographical discovery. After visiting the coast of Brazil, the ''Dainty'' passed through the Straits of Magellan, and in due course reached Valparaíso, where he plu ...

San Salvador (Guipúzcoan Squadron)
:''The article you are about to read is about a ship from the Spanish Armada. '' ''San Salvador'' was a Spanish galleon of the Spanish Armada as part of the Guipúzcoan squadron of Miguel de Oquendo. She was damaged and captured as a result of the first encounter of the Armada with the Royal Navy in 1588. ''San Salvador'' was lost at sea in the English Channel later that same year. Capture During the first encounter with the English fleet on 31 July 1588, during a lull in battle, ''San Salvadors gunpowder magazine exploded, lighting a portion of the ship on fire. The Spanish fleet was able to extinguish the flames and rescue some of the injured. 49 crew died as a result of this explosion and 23 had died previously due to combat. On 1 August, ''San Salvador'' was ordered to be scuttled, but instead was simply set adrift. The English dispatched an inspection party to ''San Salvador'' and found approximately fifty burnt bodies aboard. ''Golden Hind'', a ship in the English fleet ...

Galleon
Galleons were large, multi-decked sailing ships first used as armed cargo carriers by European states from the 16th to 18th centuries during the age of sail and were the principal vessels drafted for use as warships until the Anglo-Dutch Wars of the mid-1600s. Galleons generally carried three or more masts with a lateen fore-and-aft rig on the rear masts, were carvel built with a prominent squared off raised stern, and used square-rigged sail plans on their fore-mast and main-masts. Such ships were the mainstay of maritime commerce into the early 19th century, and were often drafted into use as auxiliary naval war vessels—indeed, were the mainstay of contending fleets through most of the 150 years of the Age of Exploration—before the Anglo-Dutch wars brought purpose-built ship-rigged warships, ships of the line, that thereafter dominated war at sea during the remainder of the age of sail. Etymology The word ''galleon'' 'large ship' comes from Old French ''galion'' 'arme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
