AFTER 17 days and nights at sea, a replica 600BC Phoenician ship has completed its latest passage on an expedition around Africa.
Phoenicia arrived at St Helena after a 1,693-mile voyage from Cape Town, South Africa on Wednesday morning.
Led by Dorset adventurer Philip Beale, the team of 11 international sailors are one step closer to their objective – recreating the first circumnavigation of Africa.

Having already made a successful navigation of the Cape of Good Hope the crew are delighted to have arrived at St Helena where they will spend a few days on dry land restocking with fresh provisions and taking a short break from life at sea.
They will also invite a local school, who have been tracking their progress online, to visit the ship and learn about the project.
The next leg of the expedition is expected to be a challenge as they sail towards the Ascension Islands and the Azores.

UPDATE: Judith Weingarten e-mails to remind me of the expedition website here and notes that the Phoenicia has arrived at the Ascension Islands.
