Abstract
The boat timbers discovered in the Islamic port of Al Baleed in southern Oman constitute a unique collection within the context of the Indian Ocean’s maritime technology between the 10th and 15th centuries AD (Belfioretti, Vosmer 2010). The timbers consist of planks from sewn-boats that have been recycled in the site’s buildings, and include preserved ropes, caulking material and decorative motifs. A study of the remains reveals a variety of forms, techniques and materials used for the construction of the sewn vessels involved in Indian Ocean maritime trade during the Middle Islamic period.
