La Galère, Pirate ship at France.

La Galère represented a Mediterranean-style galley vessel with 30 pairs of oars and multiple sails for enhanced maneuverability during naval operations.

The ship operated during the late 17th century as part of the French naval fleet, participating in maritime activities across Mediterranean waters.

La Galère exemplified the French naval engineering traditions through its construction methods and the organization of its rowing crew system.

The vessel required a crew of 550 people, including 360 rowers, 45 oar officers, 35 officers, and 110 soldiers for standard operations.

The ship carried specialized armaments, including one 36-pounder cannon, two 8-pounders, and two 6-pounders for naval combat scenarios.
