The Amati Greek Bireme kit includes pre-cut keel and frames, wood and metal fittings, a cloth square sail and very clear plans and instructions. Some prior experience using hand tools recommended. This is a superbly detailed and accurate model of the Greek/Athenian Bireme. This was cutting edge technology when built, being very fast and with a deadly bow ram, as the Persian fleet discovered in the Battle of Salamis. The Bireme was managed by 44 oarsmen working in two banks of oars, hence the name “Bireme”. A Trireme had three banks of oars, and a Quingereme five banks. The style of vessel changed little from 480 BC to late Roman empire times, so the model could be used as a basis for any Roman vessel of that period. Length 22″, Height 9″, Scale 1:35.
