Elvendromund

Hortagirath (S."speed-ships;Dromons") were fast elven-ships originally developed for racing.Most were about 100 ft in length, had one or two masts and between 50 and 120 oars.The Númenóreans aptly adapted the Dromon as a warship, though they rarely saw an enemy who was willing to fight them on sea.In later times however the Dromon saw frequently battle as it had been adapted by the Haradrim and continued to be used by the Dúnedain of Gondor and the Corsairs and Black Númenóreans of Umbar and other formal númenórean colonies.
