#2 Almost a 70 footer. Doesn't seem like it was over crowded.

Who was driving?

#3 Sorry bout that brain cramp. Read that as 22 drowned and 21 saved.

211 saved makes about 230 in a 70 footer. That's a tad snug on the accommodations unless it was a mult- decker.

#4 Old Roman biremes were that size. They could carry 200 though half had to row...

#5 They could carry 200 though half had to row...

And they were below deck. That's about the only way the archers and slingers up top had room to maneuver during a battle.

#7 When Grecians showed Ares devotion
And biremes were ploughing the ocean,
The rowers and rowers
Rubbed elbows for hours,
Imparting a rude locomotion.
