World's Oldest Sea Vessels Discovered in Egypt

March 7, 2006

Massive wooden planks, ropes, and cargo boxes found in a series of
caverns near the Red Sea have been identified as parts of the oldest
seafaring ships ever discovered.

The find supports evidence that ancient Egyptian mariners set sail on
ocean waters as much as 4,000 years ago on voyages that spanned about
1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) each way.
