elevation of a Greek merchant of the seventh century BC The model shown measures, in total, about 24 m in length.
merchant vessels that took part in the business of the great Greek expansion were an evolution of the Egyptian and Phoenician. Egyptian inherited the general shape of the hull, with the curvature of the bow and stern Rhodes and square sail, with almost identical BRIOLES. The capes BRIOLES are embedded in the candle, can be charged and cling to his cock, its adoption was a significant advance at the time. Phoenician ships retained the provision interiors for stowage, but according to experts, there were very different provisions. There is also disagreement about the existence of the keel and frames, there are those who argue that I should have necessarily a simple matter of resistance, as these ships, in the beginning, often stranding on the beaches of the colonies, so needed a solid structure to not deform irreversibly when fully loaded. On the other hand, at the same time, the Greek war galleys had a solid structure of ribbing and keel, it seems logical to assume that the merchant vessels were also equipped with it. The hull was caulked with bitumen to ensure a good seal.
These merchants were sailing almost pure, since only a few paddles used to berth and sail. It made a lot of cargo space by removing the large banks that needed the oars. The stick was positioned in the center of the hull and the vessel was governed by the typical sculls aft. They were very fast vessels, according to its most capable than stylized, but quite seaworthy, and well put up with the harsh conditions of deep sea shipping.
