Homonym: Galley (Kitchen)
A "galley" is a type of ship that is primarily propelled by oars and sails. Historically, galleys were used in ancient and medieval times for warfare, trade, and exploration. They are characterized by their long, narrow hulls, which allow for speed and maneuverability in coastal waters.
In modern contexts, the term "galley" can also refer to a kitchen on a ship or aircraft. This space is designed for food preparation and cooking, equipped with essential appliances and storage. Galleys are crucial for providing meals to crew members and passengers during long journeys at sea or in the air.
