Jewel of Muscat
The ''Jewel of Muscat'' is a ship based on the design of the Belitung shipwreck, an Arabian dhow that was found off the coast of Belitung Island, Indonesia, in 1998 and subsequently salvaged. It was built in a joint effort by the governments of Oman and Singapore and Mike Flecker, one of the people employed by the salvage company Seabed Explorations at the time of the original recovery.
==Background==
Present-day knowledge of the original materials and methods used in construction of the ''Jewel'' and this type of Arab dhow stems largely from the shipwreck itself, found preserved under sediment. The sediment preserved the remains of the wooden vessel and without this the wreck would have been lost due to worms. Most important were the discoveries about the methods of construction which were repeated in the construction of the ''Jewel''.
Fortunately pieces of the original timbers were preserved, allowing scientists to analyse the remains and determine the type of wood used. This wood is unique to an area which forms a thin band across central Africa from west to east, falling short of the east coast by a couple of hundred miles. This has allowed archaeologists to identify the original wrecked ship as being made in Africa.
