Sinopsis
Excerpt from Ancient Ships
The best of the written evidence comes from inscriptions. In digging the foundations for a building at the Peiraeus in 1834, the workmen came upon a Roman or Byzantine drain; and found that it was lined with slabs of marble covered with inscriptions. These were some of the inventories of the Athenian dockyards, and a few others have come to light since then, the earliest of them dating from 37 3 and the latest from 323 bc. Or thereabouts. Unhappily, these inscriptions are shattered and defaced in many places; but where the reading is clear, their testimony is conclusive.

Excerpt from Ancient Ships
For some while I have been at work upon a history of ancient shipping; and the following pages are meant to form a portion of that history. Assuming that ancient shipping means shipping in the Mediterranean between 1000 B.C. and 1000 A.D., and that a history of shipping should deal with everything connected with ships, I find that I have upon my hands a task of no small magnitude; and I do not quite know when this task will be accomplished. That being so, I am bringing out this portion of the work before the rest; this portion being tolerably complete already, and dealing with a question that may conveniently be discussed apart from any other, namely, the character of the ships themselves.
Ancient ships have already formed the subject of dozens of books and pamphlets; and I necessarily have made myself acquainted with the bulk of this literature, from Dr Assmann's latest article in the Archäologisches Jahrbuch back to the treatise De Re Navali published by L. de Baif in 1536. I do not wish to underrate my obligations to previous writers on the subject, for they have informed me of many things that I was not at all likely to discover for myself. But, taking them altogether, I have found their works more voluminous than valuable. As a rule, they have relied too much upon their predecessors.
