Roman Galley: wooden ship kits to assemble

Wooden Ship Kits

Roman Galley 30 bcKit

A typical Roman war ship of the first Century B.C. This Bireme was driven by two rows of oars. Out riggers stabilized the ship and the wales protected the hull from the protruding bows of enemy ships. While fast under oar, this type of vessel capsized easily under too much sail.
