The design of Sohar (named for an ancient port said to have been the birthplace of the legendary Sinbad) was based on a drawing of a boom (a type of dhow) in a sixteenth-century Portuguese manuscript. The vessel's hull was built of aini wood from India sewn together with 400 miles of hand-laid coconut cord from Agatti in the Lakshadweep Islands (Laccadives) off southwest India." http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Middle_East/Oman/photo313054.htm
