context_page_description: Ivlia is a modern reconstruction of an ancient Greek rowing warship with oars at two levels and an example of experimental archaeology. Between 1989 and 1994, this vessel undertook six international historical and geographical expeditions in the footsteps of the ancient seafarers.
context_section_description: After processing the available scientific data utilising ancient illustrations on vases and reliefs, written and archaeological sources, members of the Odessa Archaeological Museum, under the leadership of Prof. Vladimir N. Stanko, PhD, proposed the building of a bireme since in antiquity it had been the most widely used vessel in the northern Black Sea region.
  The ship was constructed in 1989 at the Sochi Naval Shipyard, by a team under shipwright Damir S. Shkhalakhov, as well as the active participation of the future crew members. Ivlia was built from Durmast oak and Siberian larch, the oars are of beech. Technical design of the project was carried out by specialists of the Nikolayev University of Shipbuilding. The main sponsor of construction of the ship was the Black Sea Shipping Company.
