This Assyrian ship was probably built and possibly manned by Phoenicians employed by Sennacherib; the son of Sargon II of Akkad; whom he succeeded on the throne of Assyria (705 - 681 BC).

It is a bireme; with two rows of oars. Shields are fastened around the superstructure; as on the fortifications of some city walls. The pointed bow is a ram; for piercing enemy shipping.
