SAILING THE TREASURE SHIP

This present video film was prepared by the professionals of the NatGeo channel - it is intended to tell the interested people about the Jewel of Muscat ship's more than 5000 km long voyage undertaken across the Indian Ocean as well as her really heroic battle with Monsoon.

This ship was built from almost twenty tons of wood. The shipbuilders had to spend about a year to construct this vessel - it was actually the reconstruction of a 1200-year-old Arabian ship, conducted on the basis of the ancient shipwreck.

There is no welding or any other modern sort of joining details involved - the vessel is held by - just imagine that - more than one hundred kilometers of the rope in over 127000 hand-sewn stitches made. Watch this very interesting video and you will be excited with the adventures those brave sailors faced. Maybe one of the most exciting NatGeo videos about the shipwrecks and famous vessels of the past times...

LOST AT SEA — THE SEARCH FOR LONGITUDE

This nice and interesting video was beautifully produced; the acting is great indeed. The science is very accurate, and the movie will be easy to understand for everyone. The content of the film is based on the book called "Longitude" written by Dava Sobel and it presents the material of that book very well.

We would highly recommend all our visitors to watch this truly amazing and only one-hour documentary film and and we do promise that none of you will get disappointed with this wonderful look at the history of navigation. Since this video is not scientific and not oriented at the experienced professionals of the maritime industry, it will be found good by the people with the interest in maritime world but having little to no idea of what it actually is. Feel free to share with the people outside the industry and maybe they will get interested.
