Welcome to the Phoenician Ship Expedition website.  This Expedition aims to build a replica Phoenician/Mediterranean vessel and attempt to recreate the first circumnavigation of Africa, as accomplished by Phoenician mariners in 600BC.

"Phoenicia" is in the water!

On 17th July "Phoenicia" was launched into the harbour at Arwad. Local people joined the Phoenicia Team and Syrian shipwrights to celebrate this exciting event. There are now only 2 weeks until the launch of the expedition. View more pictures in the: Phoenicia photo gallery.
