List of galleons of Spain

This is a list of a few of the carracks and galleons that served under the Spanish Crowns in the period 1410-1639; note that Castile and Aragon were separate nations, brought together in 1474 only through a unified Trastamaran and subsequently Habsburg Monarchy, but each retaining its own governments and naval forces until the 18th century. From 1580 to 1640 Portugal was also part of this Habsburg Empire, but again its naval forces remained separate and are not included below. Not all these ships listed were built in Spain or its colonies:

The term galeón continued in use in Spanish sources for much longer than in the navies of Northern Europe, lasting even into the middle of the eighteenth century. However, the design of the capital ship had altered from about 1640, when (like other maritime states) when they had in reality adopted the concept of the Ship of the line.
