Cilicia Vessel Sets Sail From London
Sunday was a great day, I was at the official sendoff ceremony of the Armenian replica Cilicia vessel. This is a model of an 800 year old ship that is being sailed around the world by a very talented group of Armenians. The ceremony was great, with easily 1000 people present. There were excellent performances from the London community dance group, and speech from His Excellency Dr Vahe Gabrielyan, Ambassador for the R.A. - It was great to see British passersby being so interested by the event that they ended up watching it, security was needed to control the crowds, I don’t think anyone expected it to be so big…and it was truly amazing to see the ship sail through the Tower Bridge to the tune of the Zurna and Dhol , and the cheers of the Armenian Community.
I think it’s amazing that this ship is sailing around so many parts of the world, and it will be great to see it docked at Sevan lake one day…
Hate to be unpatriotic, but this thing is ugly. I am not sure if this is a replica of a medieval sailing ship or a replica of a teapot with a mast sticking from it.

^ Why don’t you design and build one and donate it to Armenia?

Should I donate a Brooklyn bridge to New York because I think it is ugly?

Wow! seems to be a lot of spam here and a couple of digs against Armenia. I thought it was a nice post myself. I would like to have seen the event myself. I think a model of an 800 year old ship would be something very interesting to see. I never really knew any Armenians except one Armenian family who owned an Italian restaurant with singing waiters and a couple of pretty daughters:0)
