The model represents a Greek bireme from the 6th century BC.
The crew consisted of 50 rowers seated in two superimposed rows (25 on each side) and about 10 additional soldiers.
During the fighting, the rowers abandoned the oars and participated in the fighting with shields and swords.
A spur located on the bow of the boat was used to sink the enemy boats by piercing their flanks.
The boat had two rudder oars on the stern of the boat.
The main traction was done using oars, the sail being used only during long navigations.
During the fighting, the sail and the mast leaned towards the stern and the boat moved exclusively using the oars.
The box of the model contains all the laser-cut wooden pieces, the wooden fittings,metal and plastic (depending on model), fabric for sails, plans and construction instructions.

Scale : 1:72
The 1:72 scale is ideal for model planes, military models and figures. This means that the model is 72 times smaller than the actual object.
For example, a model 1:72 scale airplane measures 8 inches / 20cm in length if the real object measures 14.4 m (1440 cm).
The figures in the 1:72 scale measure about 1 inch / 2.5cm high.
