04/04/2015 00:00:00 The Lost Dhow: A Discovery from the Maritime Silk Route Central East, Southeast



City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1D0ah5y The Lost Dhow: A Discovery from the Maritime Silk Route provides the earliest evidence of a maritime silk route and confirms the vibrant exchange of ideas and technologies that occurred centuries before the Portuguese entered the region in the late 15th century. Through the display of approximately 300 objects from its cargo, this exhibition tells compelling stories about the ship, its crew, and the treacherous movement by sea of domestic and luxury wares between continents 1,200 years ago.
