Tuesday the Baltic, Today the Indian Ocean...
Tuesday I linked to a story about a dozen shipwrecks found in the Baltic. Today I came across a story about one of those fun reconstruct-it-and-sail-the-old-route efforts - this time a 9th Century dhow sailing from Oman to Singapore! Interesting story and nice pictures at Medieval News, but better than that is the project's own blog: Jewel of Muscat.
The project is cosponsored by Oman and Singapore - and they're retracing medieval trading routes. Fun!
I WILL be showing this to Islamic Art & Architecture!
