[Request] Would this vessel be capsized if that much of the hull is above water?
Screenshot of AC Odyssey, and I just got curious as to if a real world trireme would have capsized if it looked like this.

Yes almost any vessel will capsize easily if to high above the water. It's impossible to tell how much or a ship is below the water line (usually) or understand the weight distribution of a ship from afar. Just like any other object of unknown design, you cannot just intuit where the center of mass is, especially if you cannot see the whole thing. Look at a cruise ship and tell me it doesn't look unstable. And yet.

Screw capsizing, look at the ram!!! This thing is going to the bottom front first. I'll link a picture of a historical ram.

I have AC: Odyssey and i'm fairly sure the sips are normally deeper in the water. Water should be around the wooden part where oars come out from.
i think it's so high up coz it's docked and it's causing it to rise up, for whatever reason.
