Is that a Dromon or whatever they were called?

Awesome model. That is the type of gunship used against Henry the VIIIths fleet, if I'm not mistaken.
Wish I could answer your question as to whether they were called Dromons, as my memory only recognises the name :roll:

One hundred years after the Battle of Lepanto I didn't think galleys were used anymore in warfare.
They were probably confined to the Mediterranean by that time though being used concurrently with
the Galleon.
Thanks for posting the link !

galleys were also used in Northern Europe. The Spanish and Dutch used them during the 80-years war (1568-1648). The Swedes and Russian navies also used galleys - the Second naval Battle of Svensksund (1790) was fought with galleys for example!
