PHARAOH’S SHIPS<br />
Fig. 7: Min of the Desert displaces 30 tons over a maximum length of 20m. Built in Rashid<br />
(ancient Rosetta) at the mouth of the Nile, it was brought to Safaga on the Red Sea<br />
by truck.<br />
Fig. 8: Rowing provides speed enough for maneuvering the ship in <strong>and</strong> out of anchorages,<br />
but was unlikely to be a primary propulsion means for the ancient Egyptians at sea.<br />
