However, inconsistency can be found, for example, in the use of "galleon" by the notaries who worked in the Basque shipbuilding region of northern Spain. Though most of the ships from this region were <i>naos</i>, some were <i>galeones</i>, but the two terms can be found being used as if they were interchangeable by some of the writers of the documents in the contemporary archives.<sup id="cite_ref-Grenier_et_al_v3_2007_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Grenier_et_al_v3_2007-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page: 14-16">: 14-16 </span></sup> </p><p>It is thought that the seamen of the Basque country of northern Spain were clear on the differences between a <i>nao</i> and a <i>galeón</i>, but what those distinguishing features were is not apparent to modern historians.

While carracks could be very large for the time, with some Portuguese carracks over 1,000 <a href="/wiki/Ton" title="Ton">tons</a>, galleons were generally smaller, usually under 500 tons although some <a href="/wiki/Manila_galleon" title="Manila galleon">Manila galleons</a> were to reach a displacement of 2,000 tons.
