The origin of the oar as a means of propulsion of a boat is very old and unknown. They were used in trade, war and transport vessels.

They were already in use in the Stone Age, the Iron Age, Ancient Egypt, Greece... But the evolution has been as much in the device itself as in the rowers and their rowing techniques.

In Egypt there are documents and drawings of rowing boats on the Nile, and we know of competitions between different boats that accompanied the pharaoh.

In addition, there is certainty of the existence of trireme regattas in classical Greek times. Plato relates the regattas of Piraeus, and in the work of Publius Virgil Maron (406 B.C.), the Aeneid, a regatta is also described.

In the Roman Empire the galleys appear, where the galley slaves rowed because they had been condemned to the galleys (a penalty imposed on certain criminals and which consisted of rowing in the king's galleys).

And how did they make the oars at that time without the materials of the 21st century? Well, in the old days they were made of beech wood to make them flexible and reinforced at the end with two pieces of oak.

In the past, the oars were also reinforced with bronze and the oars of pleasure boats were decorated with gold and silver.

Ordinary galleys were up to 11 meters long with only 3.5 meters of oar. Today's oars do not have these dimensions, as we have other methods of propulsion for large and small boats.

But there are oars of up to 10 meters for Olympic sports and regattas.
