Wooden Galleys, less than 200 feet long, sometimes manned by captured Prisoners of War (termed slaves in Hollywood films). Galleys were powered by "Oarsmen"; one row of oarsmen was a Galley; two rows of oarsmen was a Bireme; and three rows of oarsmen was called a Trireme. Galley will probably be the easiest to remember.
