I entered "bireme pictures" in google and got my socks knocked off:

I was lookin' for pictures (and got 'em), and got buried under an avalanch
of information about anything that resembled a boat from 2600 BC to 16
Century AD.

I'm still reeling.

I built a bireme recently. I got some good information from the Trireme
Trust web page (easy to find, hard to load.) They are the folks who crew the
Olympias, shown in color on that page. But I had no access to anything like
all those construction photos!

Great stuff there. Though it is not as encyclopedic as you led me to
believe, it is far better to have a focused set of good color photographs.
Oh wait, that "Useful Links" leads to the flood you spoke of.

(...) Building an ancient Greek style warship of some kind has always been one of my lego dreams. Any pics of that online? Or are there any pics that anyone knows of other attempts at recreating a trireme/bireme? cheers Magnus (23 years ago, 8-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)
