Rowlock detail

A close look at one of the oar-holes. While these ships were first and foremost sailing vessels, it was possible to move them by oar-power alone in a pinch. However, they were not galleys by any stretch of the definition! Also, note the rivets holding the planking together, and the two vertical rivets visible at right holding a hull frame in place.
