Anders T Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Now moving way back in time. This ship was in use in the period from 800 BC-300 BC. The archaic and the classic periods in Greece. This was the time of Homer (not Simpson), Pythagoras (a2+b2=c2) , Thales (Waterworld), Sappho (Woman into women), The battle of Marathon (yes this is where the name is from), The battle of Thermopylae (“THIS IS SPARTA”), The Peloponnesian war, The rise of Macedon (That great Alexander fella)… Penteconter front by Anders Thuesen, on Flickr This vessel was rowed by fifty oarsmen. These were free citizens and the use of oared ships is said to have a strong link to the Greek (Athenian) Democracy. The Penteconter would later evolve in to the more well-known Bireme and Trireme. Penteconter side by Anders Thuesen, on Flickr This was a very fast design Yep both the ship itself and the designing of the LDD file.

Isundir Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Looks great, it's nice to see a ship for a change Quote

Captain Braunsfeld Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Wow, so I understand you are able to build any type of ship - excellent! Quote
Anders T Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Looks great, it's nice to see a ship for a change In this forum I'm actually wondering why there isn't a whole lot more. Thinking about posting some viking ships as well. Nice work! Looks like its ready to cross the wine dark sea... Thought it could be a nice addition to a vignette with some greek legend. Wow, so I understand you are able to build any type of ship - excellent! Actually I was wondering if ships of this type would also have an interest in the PIrates forum Edited September 18, 2015 by Anders T Quote
TitusV Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Very cool - i don't know a lot about ships, but this one seems very well done to me Quote
