History[edit | edit source]
As its use spread from Egypt, the felucca eventually also reached Greece. By the time of the Peloponnesian War in the 5th century BCE, feluccas were a common sight along the shores of the Peloponnese. As light-weight vessels, they were unsuitable for travel on the Aegean Sea itself, and broke down easily in the tossing of the ocean waves.[2]
Used throughout Egypt's millennia-long history, feluccas became a staple form of water transportation. During the final decades of the Ptolemaic Kingdom, they were a common sight on the Nile and on Lake Mareotis.[1]
