*Galeazze*, book illustration by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli, included in *Atlante Veneto* (1690-1701), Vol. 1, 1693.
Two Venetian galleasses are seen here in close proximity with their oars out. Looking closely at the front of the ship reveals a set of cannons; in fact, Venice was one of the earliest nations to put cannons on warships.
