Hallo Forum
Auf Grund eines berichtes im N24 kanal den Ich ueber Satteliten empfange,sah Ich einen bericht ueber die Triereme "Olympias" der Griechischen Marine...
Das Schiff wurde erneuert um fuer die Olympischen Spiele und die eroeffnungs feier das Feuer nach Athen zu bringen.
Auf grund dieses berichtes wollte Ich einige infos ueber diese sehr gute schiffe bringen...(Leider Nur in Englisch)Bitte auch die Mods die Bilder evtl.zu copieren und im thread wieder reinzusetzen,da ueber Imagestation die bandwith...warscheinlich wieder nicht fuer lange "laufen" wird....DANKE

..."The ancient Greek navy was one of the most powerful at the time. While the ancient Greek trireme would be no match for today's cruisers, frigates and destroyers, at the time they represented the best that naval technology had to offer. The trireme was built for speed and mobility. The triremes were 120 feet long, small by today's standerds, and were powered by 170 rowers arranged in three rows. They were built low to the ground, the bottom row of rowers were just 18 inches above the waterline, and very narrow which meant that the triremes were not built to handle open ocean. The rough seas would make short work of a trireme because of its very low weight. The triremes were built for short, close in, battles. They were not made to handle long, open ocean campaigns. However, the triremes were very fast and maneuverable which gave them a critical advantage in the close-in battles that were typical of ancient naval engagements.."

The Trireme (Greek trieres) was the "state of the art" fighting ship designed to be able to cover long distances quickly under oar and sail, and in battle to ram enemy ships with devastating effect. Money from the new vein of silver in Laurion enabled Athens to buy timber from Italy to increase her fleet from 40 in 489 BC to 200 in 480. The polis paid for the ship and its crew: equipment and repairs were paid for by a rich citizen as one of the liturgies (trierarchia - a brilliant Athenian notion which shamed the richest citizens into spending their wealth on the city, without the need for taxation). A full-scale replica of a trireme was launched in 1987, painstakingly reconstructed, using all available ancient evidence (especially the Lenormant relief). Full information about Olympias, the Greek navy's least up-to-date- ship can be found on the official trireme project web site.
*Overall length: 37 metres (121 feet)
*Overall beam: 5.5 metres (18 feet)
*170 oarsmen in 3 files on each side: top file 31, middle and bottom 27 each
*Oarsmen spaced at 2 cubits (0.888 metres/2 feet 9 inches)
*One man per oar
*Oar length 4.2m (13 feet 8”) and 4.0m (13 feet) - short oars at ends of ship
*Speed: able to cover 184 sea miles at about 7.5 knots without stopping
