The ships were powered by sail and oars. A warship had a crew of a couple of hundred, mostly rowers as the sail was stowed for battle and manoeuvre was under oar power. Ramming was a favourite method of attack and about 180 rowers powered the ships, with a small number of marines. The oarsmen could be armed for forays onto the land. Conditions were grim in the confined space, especially in rough weather, and a sunken ship usually meant a lot of drownings.
