The manner of combat with the galley was extremely difficult, then it maneuver was very complicated due of the paddles, small speed and slow reaction of movements.
Only the king and their direct assistants had decent life on board, the crew was treated with rudeness and severe discipline.
The rowers worked in banks and each staff had to follow the knock of the cadence official, if one bank had been lost the rhythm due fatigue or another cause the rest resented the effects and collapsed, the paddles orientation were totally unbalanced.
Living together with all types of dirtiness, insufficient nutrition and surviving with little resources.
The ones who sight a galley passing at a distance could never imagine that situation on board.
