		Construction of a quinquireme would start with laying down a keel; the first course of boards would be joined directly to the keel with mortises and tenons.
		Ropes on a quinquireme would have been made of hide or hemp; sails would be linen, made from flax.
		A quinquireme would be beached for repairs, but also whenever it was not to be used for awhile (overnight or in bad weather, for example).

		This ship is available both with and without sail.
		The "no sail" Quinquireme consists of hull, oars, "sponsons" from which the oars project, foredeck, central well, and raised stern-tail.
		The stern-tail on this model is either a different style, or was slightly miscast.

		A quinquireme is a powerful, but lumbering, warship intended for fleet actions.
		The bulk of the crew are rowers as there are five men to each oar; this pulling power is good, but maintaining ramming or battle speed is very tiring for the men.
		Consequently, quinquiremes also carry a detachment of marines and some shipboard artillery as means of attack - when you cant be sure of ramming an opponent, bombardment or boarding become the most effective tactics.

		Larger vessels were apparently built, such as the Roman quinquireme and later large polyremes, but the root words "three," "four," and "five" apply not to the number of banks of oars but to the number of oarsmen (remex) on each side of the ship.
		In a quinquireme, the oars on the top two levels were pulled by two men each, and the smaller oars on the bottom level were pulled by one man, so that there were five files of oarsmen on each side of the ship.
		In the larger and later polyremes, there were only two levels of oars, with each oar pulled by four men (in an octoreme, or "eight") or five men (in a decareme, or "ten").

	Greek Warships - History for Kids!
		In the 400's BC, in the Classical period, the Greeks also built a heavier kind of ship called the quinquireme, meaning "five oars".
		Quinquiremes were not as common as triremes, but they were heavier and harder to blow off course when there were strong winds.
		Quinquiremes also had lead coatings on their bottoms to protect them against being rammed by enemy ships.

		Quinquireme - These ships were originally built over the advances made in rowing placement and water displacement from the Quadquireme.
		The Quinquireme would be faster and more durable compared to the Trireme or the Quadquireme but would contain the same attack rating.
		This would be a slower ship then the normal quinquireme since it was weighted down by the raven but would contain a lower defense, and a higher attack.

		Quinquireme of Nineveh The south side of Ella Island presents a wall of near vertical rock rising straight from the sea for four thousand feet.
		We did this occasionally as a relief from the sedate progress of the stately quinquireme.

		He moved to the rail of his quinquireme and studied the progress of the disembarkation.
		By now, not long before sunset, most of the triremes had already been beached and their crews were beginning to erect the first temporary fortifications and field camps.
		He turned to the quinquireme's captain, but the man was already anticipating the order.

		Standing next to him on the raised quarterdeck of the huge quinquireme which served as his flagship, Demansk smiled coldly.
		All of them, really, except the quinquiremes and the special woodclads—and what relatively few ships were needed to maintain a blockade of the harbor.
		There, hidden behind the quinquiremes which formed the front line of Demansk's fleet, were the dozen new woodclads which Trae and Thicelt had designed for him.

		The gritty realities of modern life are set against the golden age of the Stately Spanish Galleon and the even more distant glamour of the Quinquireme of Nineveh.
		The dirty British coaster was a workhorse of the industrial age, at the cutting edge of modernity.
		The quinquireme and the galleon were undeniably more glamorous, but it was the coaster that, quite literally, delivered the goods.

		A corvus quinquireme is a powerful warship intended for fleet actions, and a refinement of the basic quinquireme design.
		The corvus was developed by Rome during the first Punic War as a means of turning sea battles into land battles, and allowing its superior infantry to become decisive.
		It is an iron beak on a hinged walkway that is designed to smash down into enemy decking doing two jobs in one: making a bridge for the marines to cross, and locking the two ships together so that the battle has to be fought on the quinquireme captains terms.

		Rarely did she venture so far from home, and a veritable squadron of lateen-rigged fishing coasters and small trading vessels clustered around to wonder at her size and bulk.
		Half the men on the maindeck went tumbling down into the hull of the huge quinquireme, where they gathered into the groups of five to an oar that gave the ship its designation.
		The sea anchor was hauled in, and presently Iros was a living thing again, white wings dipping in unison to the endless beat of the great bass drum.

	[minstrels] Cargoes -- John Masefield

		The quinquireme was a war galley which came into use around the time of the Punic wars between Rome and Carthage, centuries after the fall of Nineveh.
		From: Tony Seaton I remember well the reading of this poem by the Headmaster at my primary school.

		Yet the poem continues to entrance, delight and echo in our ears.
