Ancient ship designers tried numerous tricks to get more power for warships, including putting more men on single oars. The most successful design was the bireme, an ancient warship devised by the Phoenicians. This ship is a precursor to the Trireme and features two tiers of single rowers per side. This ship provided reasonable maneuverability and speed. It appeared around 1000 BC and made up the bulk of Mediterranean navies for several hundred years after around 600 BC.
