| #5 They could carry 200 though half had to row... And they were below deck. That's about the only way the archers and slingers up top had room to maneuver during a battle. |

| #3 Sorry bout that brain cramp. Read that as 22 drowned and 21 saved. 211 saved makes about 230 in a 70 footer. That's a tad snug on the accommodations unless it was a mult- decker. |
