A Turkish-built replica of an ancient ship (pictured) is set to sail to Spain, nearly 3,000 years after the original.
An Izmir-based historical research association made replicas of the boats, believed to be nearly 3,000 years old and used in ancient times as one of the first ships in history.
Association members and volunteers managed to sail from Izmir’s Foca Port to France’s Marseille in 2009, with the new goal to go to Spain by Phoenician boat.

She was launched last year, before making a trial voyage.
