Description
August 1572. The first galleon built for the royal Polish navy and for the king Sigismund II Augustus himself, the Dragon, sets sail for its maiden voyage on the - for the moment - calm waters of the Bay of Gdańsk...

The image is purely fictional, as the ship, in reality, was never finished and - in addition - we don't know it's exact shape. In Polish history the ship is almost legendary because of the scarce knowledge available. However, it's nice to imagine, what if... ?
Done in Photoshop in about 7-8 hours, today.

Actually I believe this ship did sail, although probably in a less awesome fashion and in a less complete state. As I recall the ship was never finished because Royal funding was cut short after the king's death. The interrex after that made it even worse. When the Commonwealth was finally stable after Bátory was elected King, he was you know kicking Ivan's ass, he and the nobility didn't see a reason to fund a navy (Sweden wasn't their enemy yet). The ship was finally scuttled in 1587.
P.S it was built in Elbląg not Gdańsk. (but i could be wrong)
