Ship
Building Progress
The ship builders on Arwad island
have been working on Phoenicia since November 2007 using traditional
Phoenician construction methods and materials. They are making excellent
progress; the hull is up to the 13th level of planks and the first wales
have been joined. "Phoenicia" is beginning to take shape! Browse the
