Homonym: galley (Kitchen)
A "galley" is a type of ship that is propelled primarily by rowing, often featuring a long, narrow design. Historically, galleys were used in ancient and medieval times for warfare, trade, and exploration. They typically had one or more rows of oars on each side and were equipped with sails for additional power.
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, ensuring that crew members and passengers are provided with meals during their journey. Galleys are often compact and efficiently organized to maximize limited space.
