[edit] Illustration

I think that the 1628 painting at the head of the article is really depicting a galleon, rather than a carrack - the artist is showing a ship of his own time rather than the Santa Maria.

I will see if I can get hold of a public-domain picture that better illustrates the features of a carrack. --Ndaisley 06:14, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

It is indeed a galleon.--MWAK (talk) 08:12, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
