What other overlooked sailing vessels belong beside brigs and snows?
Short answerFoxo suggests Ottoman and Venetian galleys, then early transatlantic carracks. The discussion questions accounts that reduce galleys to examples of ships destroyed by cannon.
NotesFoxo nominates Ottoman and Venetian galleys of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as numerous vessels that receive too little attention. Accounts of their destruction by cannon can obscure the ships themselves and the battles they fought. A report that one shot snapped a galley in half needs care: unusually light construction or poor maintenance is suggested as a possible explanation. Carracks are also mentioned as neglected early transatlantic ships that helped enable European colonization of the Americas. Their position within a conventional age-of-sail period remains a question in the exchange.
