From the David Warther website: "Come and view the work of David Warther, a fifth-generation carver of Swiss heritage, who is continuing his family's carving legacy in the center of Ohio's beautiful Amish country. This unique art collection-museum forms an artistic and highly educational exhibit that culturally enriches all who view these extraordinary works of art." David's artistry is on display near Sugarcreek. The ship displayed here, the Huntress of Athens, was known as a "trireme," in which 170 oarsmen worked an oar each on the ship's 3 levels. The top level of oarsmen were called Thranites, with 31 oars per side; the middle level known as Zygites, with 27 oarsmen per side; and the lower level was called Thalamites, also with 27 men per side. The work of his grandfather, Ernest Warther, can be seen in nearby Dover.
