Detailed explanation-1: -Trading ships known as gauloi, or “round ships, ‘’ were built with rounded hulls and curved sterns. The gauloi had a giant rectangular sail in its center, which hung from a yard and could turn to catch the wind. It used an oar-like blade, attached to the port (left) side of the ship, to steer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Setting sail from Syria in 2008, The Phoenician covered 32, 000 kilometers over two years, battling everything from six-meter waves off the Cape of Good Hope to Somali pirates.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Phoenicia was built using knowledge of construction techniques from discovered wrecks. The hull was made sturdy by using tenons to join planks together and then drilling holes and hammering pegs through the joints (pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery), after which the ribs of the ship were fit in.
