All of the ships ever built minus all of the ships ever repurposed/recycled minus all of the boats that inexplicably end up sitting on a trailer in a desert somewhere. So pretty much all of the ships ever built.

Do you suppose there were triremes just beached out in the Egyptian desert back then, too?

If wrecking was cheaper there and environmental regulations laxer than in Rome, yes!
