I agree completely that most Greek and Roman merchant ships were sailing ships, not galleys, for the reasons given. To be honest, my information about merchant galleys comes from a novel, and the author may have been wrong.he sailors, who usually did not row, were also free volunteers. OTOH, merchant galleys, which were owned by civilians, used slave rowers. Slaves were plentiful in Greek, and especially Roman, times and relatively inexpensive to buy.
I have been looking for the size of the navies. We know that: The Redwynes have two hundred warships, and five times as many merchant carracks, wine cogs, trading galleys, and whalers, The Iron Fleet of the Iron Islands had about a hundred war galleys, plus 400-900 longships (depending on who you ask). Sallador Saan has at least 23 galleys. Aurane Waters has twelve surviving ships or the old royal fleet, plus ten new dromons.
