Thanks! Those are really interesting, especially the belowdecks pictures of the rowers.

Very interesting, especially the facts that the female oarsmen seemed to be on the lowest level and the VERY limited deck space. Now I understand why they only carried ten marines.

Nice photos! The Olympias was one of several things I was frustrated to have missed while in Athens.
