have been introduced into Europe by the Genoese or Venetians,
in the 12th or 13th century. Cf. {Ameer}, {Emir}.]

or of fleets.
[1913 Webster]

2. The ship which carries the admiral; also, the most
considerable ship of a fleet.
[1913 Webster]

Like some mighty admiral, dark and terrible, bearing
down upon his antagonist with all his canvas
straining to the wind, and all his thunders roaring
from his broadsides. --E. Everett.
[1913 Webster]
