GREEK BIREME - Ancient Warship 480BC
Superbly detailed and accurate model of the Greek/Athenian Bireme. A fast and fearsome battleship, the Bireme was manned by 44 oarsmen working on two banks of oars. The protruding bow was a useful tool for ramming enemy ships during close range fighting, as the Persian fleet discovered at the Battle of Salamis. The style of vessel changed little from 480BC to late Roman Empire times, so the model could be used as a basis for a Roman vessel.
