Product: 1:72 Greek Triera
Triera is the main type of a battle ship of the Mediterranean period of
the Greek-Persian wars (V-IV centuries BC). The main weapon of the
triera was a copper bind ram, the extension of the keel beam. The speed
of the ship on oars was up to 18 km/h. The triera had a big square sail
and a small sail on the inclined mast in the bow part. The masts were
removable. In the course of a battle the triera accelerated and thus
could break oars of an enemy ship stopping it. Than it used its ram. The
crew of the ship had more than 200 men including oarsmen, sailors and heavily armored hoplites.
