This trireme (ship with three banks of oars)
was built under the guidance of classical archaeologists and
is owned and maintained by the Greek navy. Each summer a
team of rowers (usually college students) trains together
(coordinating three banks of oars is tricky business!) and
then takes the trireme out for sea trials. To learn more
about it, see the poster in the Classics Department Office
(Boylan 2408).
