Syracusia
''Syracusia'' ((ギリシア語:Συρακουσία), ''syrakousía'', literally "of Syracuse") was a ancient Greek ship sometimes claimed to be the largest transport ship of antiquity. She only sailed once, from Syracuse in Sicily to Alexandria in the Ptolemaic Kingdom. ==General characteristics== ''Syracusia'' was designed by Archimedes and built around 240 BC by Archias of Corinth on the orders of Hieron II of Syracuse. The historian Moschion of Phaselis said that ''Syracusia'' could carry a cargo of some 1,600 to 1,800 tons and a capacity of 1942 passengers. She reputedly bore more than 200 soldiers, as well as a catapult. She sailed only once to berth in Alexandria, where she was later given to Ptolemy (Ptolemaios) III Euergetes of Egypt and renamed ''Alexandria'' (, literally "of Alexandria"). A discussion of this ship, as well as the complete text of Athenaeus (a late 2nd-century Greek writer who quotes a detailed description of ''Syracusia'' from Moschion, an earlier, now lost, writer) is in Casson's ''Ships and Seamanship in the Ancient World''.〔 Of particular interest in the discussion of the construction of the ship is the detailed description of the efforts taken to protect the hull from biofouling, including coating it with horsehair and pitch.〔 This may be the first example of proactive antifouling technology (designed to prevent the attachment of fouling organisms, rather than to remove them).
