A closer look

This initiative began as a personal quest to reinforce cultural identity, honour ancestral craftsmanship, and revive cultural connections with Carthage and other Phoenician cities. Its aim was to disassemble and store a Phoenician ship as a symbol of cultural heritage and maritime legacy.

Because of administrative and technical challenges, the project was paused. ACE has since rethought its approach and decided to halt construction until a funding mechanism is in place to support both the shipbuilding process and the related scientific components. The project is currently being redesigned so that it can be delivered on a sound and sustainable footing.
