The Egyptian galleys throngedthe Phoenician ports, while those of Phoenicia visited Egypt. The latterdrew so little water that they had no difficulty in coming up the Nile, and the paintings in one of the tombs represent them at the moment oftheir reaching Thebes. The hull of these vessels was similar to thatof the Nile boats, but the bow and stern were terminated by structureswhich rose at right angles, and respectively gave support to a sort ofsmall platform. Upon this the pilot maintained his position by one ofthose wondrous feats of equilibrium of which the Orientals were masters.
