Were pre-modern ships able to sink each other without the use of gunpowder? If so, how? Any examples from any time period of naval history are welcome, especially if they concern Europe and the Islamic World in the early and high middle ages.

/u/Superplaner claimed that Viking ships were essentially "platforms for infantry combat".

Would premodern naval battles just involve one crew attempting to kill or imprison all of the others, and taking the ship for their own? Would crews split themselves among both ships always, or would they ever just allow a ship to float away, unmanned?

Would ships every fire arrows at each other in hopes of killing the crew? Was sea archery effective? Could arrows cause significant structural damage to a ship? Was there any way to set an enemy ship on fire without the use of Greek sea fire?
