Owens (1985). Review of Jack Beeching, The Galleys at Lepanto. In Sixteenth Century Journal 16,1 (1985): 153.
Chapter 1 of my ongoing project, "The Fright and Thrill of Navigation," deals with medieval Mediterranean galleys. It elaborates on their dimensions, design, and displacement. The article also comments on the craft's functions in warfare, peacetime, and sailing season constraints. It further focuses on nocturnal steering, operational range, speed, and watering the crews. The paper concludes with notes on coastal shipping, beaching, life expectancy, and visibility.

As a discipline, maritime archaeology has prioritized the study of ship construction methods/design over the wealth of material culture associated with shipwrecks. However, shipwreck assemblages offer a unique opportunity to understand shipboard culture. The Emanuel Point II (EPII) shipwreck of the failed 1559–1561 Luna expedition contains large, mendable ceramic sherds that when analyzed offer a unique opportunity to study 16th-century Spanish vessel forms. By comparing the archaeological assemblage from EPII to the ceramic pattern identified in 16th-century Spanish provisioning records, this thesis seeks to establish an interpretive foundation of the vessels employed for food storage, preparation, and consumption aboard 16th-century Spanish ships. This research simultaneously resulted in the identification of specific vessel forms found in ship assemblages and developed a stronger understanding of the unique characteristics that help identify vessel forms from individual sherds. Further, this thesis argues that vessel form analysis is better suited to understanding the cultural past than simply identifying vessel fragments by type.
