What makes the moon look like a ghostly galleon?
its a metaphor comparing a ghostly ship floating on the clouds as the sea. It's most accurate when the moon is not quite half full and still a crescent. If you rotate the image so the horns of the crescent point up, the moon looks like the side view of a boat with a very curved hull. Galleons of the 15th-16th century had very curved hulls, with high "castles" on either end, bow and stern. So the crescent moon has a shape like the hull of a galleon. You have to imagine the masts, yardarms and sails. If you see the crescent moon on a night that's partly cloudy and the clouds are blowing across the moon, you'll see the effect.
