Maral Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 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. http://www.ayasclub.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 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.

gamavor Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 (edited) http://www.ayas.am/club/sponsors.php 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.

gamavor Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 http://www.armeniadiaspora.com/js04/041019cilicia.jpg "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.
