    What I can't find is any of their oared Galleys Vol.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Rob, I forgot to ask what are those cylinder things in amongst the palms?

    Just spotted theis Vol.
    Those cylinders are not very interesting. When I am painting Wings aircraft the pegs slip into the tops and I can prime the aircraft top and underside in one go. The fatter one is for the bomber pegs.

    There is an oared galley in the Baltic section, along with quite a few additional oared vessels including a shebek and half shebek:

    SR15
    Galley*(40 oars)
    3-masted with lateen sails.
    Pre 1796, there were 5 forward facing guns. After 1796, there would be either 5 forward facing guns or 3 forward firing guns plus 1 able to fire aft over the rudder head. This model could depict either

    And there is the one galley in the Great Lakes line:

    GL11
    Galley 'Washington' (20 gun) (1776-1777)
    Hull, stern, quarter deck, 2 masts; brass sails.
    Plus oarbanks (optional use).

    Other than that you would have to visit the Renaissance section for galleys

    Cheers for all that extra info Vol. I must admit that I did not look at the Baltic section. Never suspected that they would be there although I knew that they were a significant factor in Baltic warfare. Just got fixated on North Africa!
