Finally.. Jewel of Muscat had reach Penang Island of Malaysia. It had been traveling for approximately 4 months from Oman and their final destination is Singapore. It's a golden opportunity to go and have a look at the ship. Jewel is a 18 meter long ship that has been made without a single nail and the wood is protected by a layer of animal fats. I managed to take a few shots. Besides that, the crew members from Oman was very friendly. They speak perfect English and they are very cheeky too! :P Through the conversation I had with them, I learned a few things more about Jewel.
There were about 19 to 20 people onboard and they all come from 6 different nationality. When I was there on Sat, there were only 3-4 crews available and they are all from Oman. They shared a little about their daily life on the boat and they still have one more stop before Singapore which is Klang. Believe it or not, this ship was built within a year! :D
For more information about it, kindly visit their official website.
Do you think they still want summore fats? :P
