om...
more like a carrack than a galleon isn't it...rounded stern and all.

I'm having a hard time finding anything.
Any possibility that "Black Rock" "portsmouth" is where the ship is from,
and not her name?

Um - yeah? Of course Portsmouth where is the real question.

I tried googeling images of both galleons and carracks, but can't find a
single image of a ship with her name on the back like that......

It's a very common convention and has been for about a zillion years.
Most of the time, it was reserved for commercial vessels for tax
purposes and treaty conventions.
