A full size replica of a 13th century Cilician Armenian trade ship will sail the 7 seas to promote the Armenian history and culture during the summer 2004- 2005.

Wow! Thanks for the link Maral. It looks like a beauty!

I would love one day to 'sail the seven seas' but I think I would prefer a slightly more modern vessel. Perhaps one with a emergency engine, a radio & a GPS.

Vava,yes I agree.
I'll only go camping if it involves a hotel and indoor plumbing!

I was surprised to see the name of Varban Stamatov as a sponsor. He passed away few years ago and was great friend of Armenia. His friendship with Vartkes Bedrosian and frequent journeys to Armenia were materialized in a book he wrote called "Passage to Ararat". Very emotional indeed!

God bless his soul!

Edit: The book was called "By boat to Ararat"! He chose the title in contrast of the excuse of the Brits during WW I - "Our boats cannot reach Ararat". Stamatov's boat not only reached Ararat, but made a lasting impression to everyone who read his book.

"The Cilicia Middle Age sailing ship reached Venice where it docked near Saint Lazarro where there is an Armenian Church. Italy is the last destination for the ship this year, which previously visited several countries along the route of sailors of the Middle Age Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. Next year, the ship will continue to sail in May-September, 2005 from Venice towards Amsterdam. "
