I used free men on the rowing benches of my round ships, of which I had four, not slaves, as is traditional. - (Raiders of Gor, Chapter 10, Sentence #273)

I expected I would again, however, return to Thassa. She, as it is said, cannot be forgotten. I had made one innovation in practices common to Port Kar. I used free men on the rowing benches of my round ships, of which I had four, not slaves, as is traditional. The fighting ship, incidentally, the long ship, the ram-ship, has never been, to my knowledge, in Port Kar, or Cos, or Tyros, or elsewhere on Gor, rowed by slaves; the Gorean fighting ship always has free men at the oars. The galley slaves I thought worth freeing, I freed, and found that many would stay with me, taking me for their captain. Those I did not wish, for one reason or another, to free, I sold to other captains, or exchanged them for slaves whom I might free, several of whom, when freed, also agreed to serve with me. - (Raiders of Gor)
