Martingana (or Martigo) was a medium-sized commercial sailing ship built on most of the main Greek shipbuilding islands during the second half of the 18th century, with a widespread use throughout the Mediterranean, from the East Aegean to the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas (with some rigging modifications).
