Sohar (The "Sohar"of Tim Severin)

[Anatol]

Tim Severin (born 1940) is a British explorer, historian and writer. Severin is noted for his work in retracing the legendary journeys of historical figures. Severin was awarded both the Gold Medal of the Royal Geographical Society and the Livingstone Medal of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society . He received the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award for his 1982 book «The Sindbad Voyage» .
The Sindbad Voyage (1980–1981)
The famous adventures of the medieval sailor Sindbad, as recorded in One Thousand and One Nights , became the inspiration for Severin's next voyage. After three years of researching the legend and early Arab and Persian sketches of medieval ships, he brought the project to Sur, Oman in 1980. Sponsored by His Majesty Qaboos bin Said al Said, Sultan of Oman, he guided Omani shipwrights in the construction of the "Sohar", an 87 foot (26.5 m) replica of a ninth century, lateen-rigged, cotton-sailed Arab dhow . The ship was constructed in seven months of hand-sawn wooden planks sewn together with nearly 400 miles (640 km) of hand-rolled, coconut-husk rope.
Sohar left Oman on 21 November 1980. Navigating by the stars, Severin and his crew of 25 traveled nearly 6,000 miles (9,600 km) in eight months. From Surthey sailed east across the Arabian Sea , south down India's Malabar Coast to Lakshadweep and on to Kozhikode , India . The next phase of their voyage took them down the coast of India to Sri Lanka . They were becalmed in the doldrums for nearly a month, suffered broken spars, and were nearly run down by freighters, but arrived in Canton , China on 6 July.
