in the eighties the national geographic magazine used to sponsor travels based on the original epics of the world. jason and the argo, sindbad in serendip and the greeks in troy.
the ships designed for the trips were made of the same materiels as the past
in the sindbad voyage the dhow had planks tied with coir ropes and no nails i think.
i was just wondering how it would be if we had to cross the palk straits from kodikarai on a replica of pungkuzhalis wobbling raft in the now deepened sethusamudram.
Dear Venkat I dont think deepening the Sethu will not affect the travel from kodikarai to srilanka because its furthur north...
