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 ship building photo gallery to see the latest images from Syria.
