Description
English: Plaque reads: This Replica of an ancient Roman trireme is one of the original ships used in the movie "Ben Hur." It was given to Mayor William Donald Schaefer and the citizens of Baltimore by the Peter S. Atsaides Family, owners of Kibby's Restaurant.

The ship was turned over to the Vocational Educational Department for needed renovation. Students there did reconstruction and repair work under the direction of instructor Algimantas K. Grintalis. Accurate detailing was accomplished by careful study of photographs from U.A./M.G.M Distribution Company and other materials acquired through library research.

The ship was dedicated with a ceremony on April 28, 1986.
