Dimensions & evidence for all twenty vessels

Every scene uses the same metre scale. Conjectural sizes help compare possible roles; they are not exact ancient specifications. The collection also includes earlier and later comparisons, labelled by period. These vessels were not all part of Alexander’s navy. The fireship belongs to Tyre’s defenders.
