Harbor Galley (TL 2)
    Copyright 1996 by Tracy Ratcliff (tratclif@bright.net)

        This ship is translated from Sea Steeds and Wave Riders by David Sering
    (Judges's Guild, 1978), the first roleplaying supplement to cover ships.
        The harbor galley is a small oared warship apparently based on an old
    reconstruction of a penteconter (For a more up-to-date interpretation, see
    Greece p.107). Crammed into its hull are 48 slave oarsmen. The ship is
    fully decked, and normally carries eight marines in addition to the five-
    man crew.
        Vehicles first edition creates oared ships with unrealisticly high
    speeds. A ship like this would probably have an acual top speed of about 8
    mph.
