I could be wrong, but it looks like they are rowing the vessel in the wrong direction. |

no, the lion is at the prow (with the ram) |

Did Mycenaean ships have rams?
Regardless, it's a beautiful model. |

Looking at those Thera fresco's it would appear that the lion is at the stern, along with what I thought was a ram (described as a stern appendage-perhaps a counterweight to keep the bow up and act like a keel board). Certainly the steersman is at the lion end, and the rowers are facing the other way, so the graceful curve is, in fact, the bow.
If so, then 60 GBP seems to be a bit over the top for ship built backwards. |

"If so, then 60 GBP seems to be a bit over the top for ship built backwards." You never bought a Leyland, then? |

Could it be that the guy that built it just put the guys on the wrong way round? It seems like you could easily turn them around. |

Could be, but the steering oar is at the wrong end too |
