Triantaconter – Handmade

A handmade reproduction of the Triantaconter.

The Triantaconter was a high speed oared warship with one row of 15 oars on each side. It was oblong for the placement of 30 oarsmen, with a shallow keel and exceptionally more versatile and faster than the equivalent “round” commercial ships. It was widely used by the Mycenaeans and first referred to by Homer as the main ship in the Trojan War.

Fine example of the archaic Greek fighting ship, handmade to the last finest detail, fully waterproof and functional.

We take extra care in packing these beautiful model ships to ensure a safe transit. The ship is suspended from a double reinforced wood frame which is then packed in a protective material box inside a special crate. Its robust construction and quality materials guarantee a safe delivery to your door. All shipments are fully insured.
