Sinbad the Sailor

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Later this month a ship will sail out of Muscat Harbour in Oman and out of the 20th century back to the days of the Sinbad legends.
The Sohar, captained by Tim Severin , is a faithful reproduction of a medieval Arab dhow and to rediscover the sailing and navigational skills of the early Arab seamen, it will travel the 6.000 miles to Canton in China.
