Lions at Sea

Lepanto, October 7, 1571 Game in NoTurkeys! n.4 2.2009

Days of Lepanto were the last days of the galleys. The sailing ships, which timidly appeared in this battle, represented the future: in comparison to the galleys, they were faster on long distances and they could bring a greater number of guns. Lepanto also constituted the last important occasion in which a naval battle was performed by foot soldiers, fighting aboard of the ships, like on the common ground. 15 years later, in fact, the clash among the English Royal Navy and the Spanish Armada will present guns and sails instead of swords and oars... and this was also the beginning of Venice’s sea power ending.
