The triremes was built for speed and mobility.

They were 120 feet long, small by today's standerds, and were powered by 170 rowers arranged in three rows.

They were built low to the ground, the bottom row of rowers were just 18 inches above the waterline, and very narrow which meant that the triremes were not built to handle open ocean.

The crew of a trireme usually consisted of 203 men.
