GREEK BIREME

Bireme  was invented by the Phoenicians. Their usage dates back to 250-400 BC when they were used for the first time as warships. At that ancient time they measured only a few meters in length but proved to be very tough and powerful.  

At the time when bireme was deployed extensively by the Greeks during the famous Trojan War, they became much larger. The pointed keel was an effective weapon for ramming enemy vessels in close-quarter battles and boarding.

Strong and beautiful sailing ships, Greek Bireme were also used for transportation. The Romans employed bireme extensively.  Caesar's invasions of Britain saw much action from the bireme.
