Galleass \Gal"le*ass\ (?; 135), n. [F. gal['e]asse, gal['e]ace;
   cf. It. galeazza, Sp. galeaza; LL. galea a galley. See
   {Galley}.] (Naut.)
   A large galley, having some features of the galleon, as
   broadside guns; esp., such a vessel used by the southern
   nations of Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. See
   {Galleon}, and {Galley}. [Written variously {galeas},
   {gallias}, etc.]

   Note: ``The galleasses . . . were a third larger than the
         ordinary galley, and rowed each by three hundred galley
         slaves. They consisted of an enormous towering
         structure at the stern, a castellated structure almost
         equally massive in front, with seats for the rowers
         amidships.'' --Motley.
