Mahon (or the ottoman galeass)
I wonder if the "mavuna" (or mahon as westerners spell it) of the war of candia was a direct copy of venetian galeass or a modified version peculiar to ottomans. I'm ashamed to say that I could not find a single picture of a mahon here in Turkey. Perhaps forum members who have contemporary Venetian or Western pictures/engravings may posess one of the mahon too.
cheers
Don't surrender the ship !
