Elizabethan Galleon

This is a cutaway illustration of an Elizabethan era galleon. Bounding Main’s crew wears garments that reflect this time period. The Dreadnought, a smaller version of this galleon design was, until recently, available for upper deck tours at the Bristol Renaissance Faire during the summer season. It is owned  by Mike and Janet Breza and is currently for sale. More information is available here.

Note that the Dreadnought was used on the cover of our third CD, Going Overboard.
