“And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, and he put vs therein.”
1611 King James Version (KJV)
Ac 27:6 Found a ship of Alexandria. The object was to meet a vessel on a voyage to Italy. Here was found such a ship, one of the great grain ships that sailed from Egypt. These were often large, of from 500 to 1,000 tons burden.
