galley

Tray holding metal type

A galley is a large ship propelled mainly by oars, used in ancient and medieval times for warfare and trade in the Mediterranean.

The word extends to the kitchen on a ship or aircraft, typically a narrow space with equipment along the walls.

In publishing, a galley is a preliminary printed version of text used for proofreading before final production: The editor marked up the galleys.
