Elven Galleons were some of the largest ships built by the Teleri.They could have three or more masts and were usually about 150 foot in length with a weight of about 400 tons.However some extraordinary large Galleons could well reach lengths of over 500 feet and weights of up to 2000 tons.The smaller ones of these vessels could be supported by a potential of 60-80 oars whie the graet Galleons were purely moved by the winds and waves.

The only true elven Gallons ever built had been ships of the Falmari of Alqualonde, it was the appropiation of these huge crafts which had enabled Feanor and his sons to cross over to Beleriand with tjeor entire families, goods, animals and supplies.Afted the burning of these ships at losgar never again such formidable vessels had been seen near the coasts of Middle-earth, withnthe exception of those which brought the host of Valinor nearbthe end of the first age.The Sinadr of Middle-earth had neither the skill nor the knowledge or even use for watercraft of this size.
