The experimental reed boat of the expedition "Abora IV -Argonauts from the Stone Age"sailed from Bulgaria's Black Sea port of Varna on August 16, on a mission to test the hypothesis that there once was an ancient trading route between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. The goal of the mission is to build a ship entirely made of reed and wood, like one used in Ancient Times. The ship is 14 meters in length, 4 meters wide an weighs 12 tons. She will set sail from Varna, passing through Istanbul, Athens, Crete sailing towards Alexandria, distance approx. 3.000 km. The team that makes Abora consists of reed boat builders, carpenters, archeologists. The one who is responsible for the Abora IV boat is Fermin Limachi Arratia, the last of the reed boat builders, son of the man who built Thor Heyerdahl's boats.
