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.

How many knuts are in 2 galleons and 13 sickles?
It's actually 1363 knuts in total. You can do this one of two ways: 1. by multiplying the number of total sickles you have by how many knuts there are in a sickle. There are 17 sickles/ galleon so in this case that would be 47 sickles x 29 knuts/sickle = 1363 knuts 2. by finding how many galleons you actually have in decimal form and multiplying that number by the number of knuts there are in a galleon. There are 493 knuts/galleon and the number of total galleons we have is 2.8. So the equation would look like this: 2.78 galleons x 493 knuts/galleon = 1363 knuts cheers
