A Roman ship maybe, but if so, only a merchant and no war galley. The latter can't be rowed because of the rough sea, while sailing would make a galley - as we know them - top-heavy and almost immediately capsize, because of the small draft and the lack of a keel, fit for the high sea.
Roman merchants might have a slim chance, but I'd sooner take my chances with one of Thor Heyerdals' Egyptian papyrus boats:
