The galley is characterized by its long, slender hull, shallow draft, and low freeboard (clearance between sea and railing). The ship is propelled mainly by rowing, but also has sails that can be used in favorable winds, but human effort was always the primary method of propulsion.

As warships, galleys carried various types of weapons throughout their long existence, including rams, catapults, and cannons, but also relied on their large crews to overpower enemy vessels in boarding actions.

Historically, galleys were the warships used by the early Mediterranean naval powers, including the Greeks, Illyrians, Phoenicians, and Romans. They remained the dominant types of vessels used for war and piracy in the Mediterranean Sea until the last decades of the 16th century.
