[Oman-L] Christopher Southcombe's request 4 information

[d.werbeck at juno.com]

Dear Sir

Somehow I received an e-mail from you 
and have not a clue to what or why it was sent to me.

I am looking for someone to finance a photo trip to Oman 
and to take photos of what exists in the Bedu desert areas...as Sir
Wilfred Thesiger did
many decades ago...

AA culture...evaporating...and in need to be brought forth.
I suggest Pitts River Museum ...Wilfred Thesiger...
to see what I mean.
he was a friend of the past Sultan Oman.

Thank you

DCW

I note enquiries about Al Sultana  trip to the USA. Contempory American
newspaper reports of her arrival in New York City refer to her on
Thursday, Apri 30th, 1840 , as a "bark" twice which seems quite a
specific description.Possibly the 3 masted ship in the background
seascape of Mooney's portrait of Ahmed bin Naáman was intended to
represent Sultana but there is no corroberating evidence. .M.Guillain
(Paris 1856), II,241. states Sultanah was built in Bombay, but
susequently refitting did take place at Matrah.This suggest to me that
she made her 87 day voyage rigged as a   "bark". Regards Abdulrauf
