The Irish galley was a vessel in use in the West of Ireland down to the seventeenth century, and was propelled both by oars and sail. It appears to have resembled the Scottish galley or Birlinn b rlinn , both the Irish and Scottish versions being colloquially known as longa fada longships . The Irish galley was commonly an eight or twelve oared vessel and was used for both warfare and trade. It was notable for its speed when rowed. Characteristics No archeological remains have been found which would enable a detailed reconstruction of the Irish galley. There are, however, illustrations on Irish maps of the Elizabethan period ref http news.bbc.co.uk today hi today newsid 8307000 8307233.stm. ref though of contested reliability , and these are supplemented by written accounts. There is also a carving in the old Cistercian monastery on Clare Ireland Oile n Chliara , home of the seafaring O Malleys.
