The Athenian trireme : the history and reconstruction of an ancient Greek warship
Authors:J. S. Morrison, J. F. Coates

Counter The trireme was the warship which brought Athens pre-eminence in Greek waters in the fifth and fourth centuries BC. The exact structure of the trireme has puzzled scholars through the centuries and various attempts have been made to reconstruct the ship. John Morrison, a classical scholar, and John Coates, a naval architect, perfected a design which fulfils the essential structural requirements as these emerge from a study both of the archaeological evidence and of the historical accounts of sea-battles. This formed the basis for the reconstructed trireme Olympias.Subjects:
