Galeon?

From the article:
``The Linux desktop looks nearly identical to the Windows one, except that the icons are designed to reflect the region's familiar historical landmarks. To get word processing, for example, users click on "Borcense," a picture of 16th century writer Francisco Sanchez de las Brozas; for the Internet, click on "Galeon," a crane that lives in the oak meadows and cereal plains of the region.''
So that's the significance of the name "Galeon". Journalists are so helpful. I learn something new every day.
