The Spanish is bergantin, Old Spanish vergantin: these forms also occur in English writers translating, or compiling, < Spanish sources.
1. orig. A small vessel equipped both for sailing and rowing, swifter and more easily manœuvred than larger ships, and hence employed for purposes of piracy, espionage, reconnoitring, etc., and as an attendant upon larger ships for protection, landing purposes, etc. Used by the seafaring nations of the Mediterranean. (In English only a historical term: Littré gives brigantin in this sense, but perhaps it is only Historical in French also.)
