Agaleas is a type of small trade vessel that was common in theBaltic Sea andNorth Sea from the 17th to the early 20th centuries. The characteristics of the ships depend somewhat from where the ship originated. Swedish variants had two masts and were rigged asketches or sometimes asschooners. The galeas was developed from the Dutchgalliot, which was rigged in a similar way, but was equipped with a rounded stern. The Swedish galliot was sometimes called "Dutch hoy" or "English dogger". The galeas has a galliot's rig, but with a square stern.
