Update on the Phoenician ship expedition, carrying Delheim muscadel to Syria:

“After 27 days at sea since departing the Azores Phoenicia has arrived safely with a warm welcome from the local media, staff and public at Ocean Village Marina, Gibraltar. Phoenicia arrived on the afternoon of Sunday 29th August having already hit headlines in the local press -click here for Gibraltar Chronicle article.  
 
Whilst in Gibraltar Phoenicia is being supported and hosted by Ocean Village Marina (http://www.gibraltarberths.com) which is providing a fantastic base for the expedition over the next 5 days.
 
Expedition Leader Philip Beale and the 10 international crew members will enjoy an eventful stay in port which will include re-stocking the ship with fresh supplies, welcoming new crew onboard and a days filming with the BBC before setting off to continue the expedition across the Mediterranean.

Phoenicia to feature in BBC’s Ancient Worlds

During Phoenica’s visit to Gibraltar we welcome aboard a film crew from the BBC who will be filming on location for forthcoming documentary series Ancient Worlds.  Ancient Worlds will see archaeologist and historian Richard Miles embark on a six-part odyssey from the first cities of Mesopotamia to the Christianisation of the Roman Empire to tell the story of what he argues is mankind’s greatest achievement – civilisation. Due to broadcast throughout autumn-winter 2010 Ancient Worlds will feature “Phoenicia” as part of the exploration of ancient Phoenician civilisation. Keep you eyes on www.phoenicia.org.uk for further information and broadcast announcements.”
