How far can a galleon travel in a day?
With an average distance of approximately 3,000 miles, this equates to a range of about 100 to 140 miles per day, or an average speed over the ground of about 4 to 6 knots.
What were the largest ships of the early modern period called?
The carrack featured anywhere from three to four masts, dominating ship designs until it was superseded by the galleon in the 16th century. The galleon featured a similar design to the carrack as it involved multiple sails and was much larger than vessels before it.
How fast can a galley travel?
The estimated average speed of Renaissance-era galleys was fairly low, only 3 to 4 knots, and a mere 2 knots when holding formation. Short bursts of up to 7 knots were possible for about 20 minutes, but only at the risk of exhausting rowers.
Where did galley slaves go to the bathroom?
No galleys had bathrooms: all – crew and slaves – had to wait till they got ashore to have a scrub. It may have been possible for a hose to be attached to a hand pump so people could be hosed down, but that is not a bath is it.
Why is it called the galley?
The term galley derives from the Medieval Greek galea, a smaller version of the dromon, the prime warship of the Byzantine navy. The origin of the Greek word is unclear but could possibly be related to galeos, the Greek word for dogfish shark.
How far would a medieval ship travel in a day?
Anything between 50-100 miles a day is reasonable enough. You might go to 120 miles/day or so for a good ship in good conditions – that’s an average 5 mph in the intended direction, which is about the highest plausible number pre-Age of Sail. A slow ship might make 30 miles/day.
