They would have been OK if one of the crew ( who oddly had a London accent and insisted in calling him mate ) hadn't tried to sell Mr Drake a dodgy timeshare in Tenerife when he was taking a tricky shot at bowls.

Not many. Galleons & fire ships do'nt mix, plus a bad wind kept the armada from meeting up with the spanish invasion troops in the Lowlands.
They had to keep gong & did not do very well going around the tip of Scotland & into the Atlantic.

Alas the fire ships got amongst them , you know how fire affects petrol and the galleons sadly burnt up near Holland, they now have a large petrol depot, there now there are millions of Galleons for the next Armada, but they are coming by the tunnel, free of use .

Honestly some people and their whitty comments. Another Comedian....
Plus also for information, quite a few of the ships in the armada wher oared ships with sails to assist if the wind was in the correct direction.

That depends on how many holes the British navy put in the side of the galleon.

Not much. Weren't they quickly defeated by the British navy which sailed right down the middle of them and won the day?
Ha Ha, this is a play on words of the English "miles per gallon".

Well since it never did reach the British Isles in tact - I would have to say not very many!

I guess this was God's way of saying English Si! Spanish No!

Do you mean gallons?? NOT galleons!! Ships were operated via the wind, not by fuel, in the 1500's, even in 1585. DUH!!
Chow!!
