We of the Bilge remember Salamis, Actium & Lepanto ;all hard rowing turning points of history: and ramming allowed; Catapults, cannon, and archers if you must! [/I][/URL] <ATHLIT PROW
Of course I'll serve a good Cabernet with stew for all hands...It wasn't called the Wine Dark Sea fer nuthin! Where Rams are concerned-Rule 1: 'Tis' better to give than receive' lest you get yer 'ath-lit up"!!

Hey Aktung, keep in mind that this is a Beautiful Sailing Ships thread. The Bilge is that a way ---->
