Ship ahoy!

During a diving exhibition off the coast of modern day Greece, a shipwreck was recently discovered which experts believe was designed, created and used during the Ancient Greek period, like Jason's Argo.

What would the ship have looked like on the inside and outside?
What would be its main features?
Would it look similar to any ships we see today?

  1. Greek ships had sails,and were pushed along by the wind.Small trading ships usually stayed close to the shore,so the sailors did no get lost.Before a voyage, the sailors prayed to the sea god Poseidon, for a safe journey.Greek warships had oars as well as sails. The largest warships had three banks of oars and were called triremes. A trireme needed 170 men to row it - one man to each oar. It had a long narrow deck that soldiers could run along and fight from. The oarsmen sat underneath the deck.

  5. I think the boat would have been long and wooden.And in the inside it would have had lots of men at the side of it rowing the boat,because they had no engine.the Greek boats were called warships and their sails were called oars,the real name for big Greek boats were called triremes.

  6. The ship dose not look like the one are now because the ships now is made out of metal and the ship in the old time is made out of wood and the sails is made out of a old blanket.

  7. Ancient Greek ships were very fascinating and very addictive to learn about. Before they would go to sea they would pray to the God of the sea Posedion for a safe journey. The largest war ships had 3 banks of oars and needed 170 men to row it 1 man for each . The boats were called triems and they were warships. They had sails and were pushed along by the wind . Small trading ships would usually stay close to the shore so they would not get lost. It had a long narrow deck for fighters to run along and the oarsmen would sit under the deck . Archaeologists have measured Greek warships and they were about 115 meters long.

  19. Maybe on the inside a ancient Greek ship there would be one bake for all the 50 men to row the ores of the ship. The Captain would have a private cabin because the captain would be the most important person on the ship, everyone else would have a five cabins and ten beds in each cabin. The main features would be Cabin,sails ,ores, and deck.

  24. Corinth became rich by charging ship-owners to send their ships on the overland short-cut. It was much quicker than sailing all the way around the coast. Have a look at the maps to see why.Today there is an easier way to cross the isthmus. Ships pass through the Corinth Canal. It is not very long, but has very high sides.The narrow piece of land that joins the southernmost part of Greece to the mainland is the Isthmus of Corinth. Periander, ruler of the city-state of Corinth, built a stone track across the isthmus, so ships could be dragged overland. Hundreds of slaves made the track.

  25. In ancient greek boats on the inside it has wood inside and the end of the boat it's curled round and on the side it has hundreds of oars and on the side there's small windos and inside the cook in a small place on the boat called a gallery and they use to sleep in a place on the boat called a cabin and they use to have a part of the boat called a sail so the boat can move in the wind with out it they wouldn't get back home so it's a good thing thay have one.

But the outside look like it was left there for one hundred years and people think that the animals under the sea have been laneing there eggs on the ship.

    because it was made a long time ago it wouldn't have a lot of features inside of it. So it would look old fashioned. it was in the sea for a very long time so, one day it could eventually break into pieces. In the front of the boat it might have a statue or a curl at the front

  34. Maybe in the inside it would have looked like rusty and I moldy and on the outside it might look like it has holes and also moldy.

  35. In the inside the might be a kichen and a room and on the outside it is made out of wood sticks and no it does' seem to look like a boat that I seen today. But it might broke because it was on water to long that's why it probably sinked into water and broke into pieces

  36. In a ship there is a sail so it can make the ship move.there is a cabin were people can sleep.In Ancient Greek ships they have big eyes on it to protect their ship and to scare the people away it is called a war ship there is only one deck.In small boats they take hard thick wood to make the boat move they have to stay near the land so they don't get lost.

  37. The ship looks like Greek ship because the Greek ship is made out of wood and the ship in the photo is made out of wood and the ships now is made out of metal but the old boat is made out of wood.

  38. The sail of the boat helps the boat move because the air pushes the sail to move without the sail they wouldn't be able to move so it's very important and in Greek boat there beads are called cabins and the kitchen is called the galley ..

  39. ON the outside of the ship it would look receded on the inside there might be lots of sharks.
