An attempt to sail from Oman to India on a replica of a 5000-year-old boat this month (Science, 9 September, p. 1670) lasted less than 11 hours. The reed-and-tar construction of the 12.5-meter craft Magan proved no match for the Arabian Sea, which swamped it on 7 September a scant 10 kilometers from port.All eight crewmembers were picked up by an escort vessel, according to Oman's Ministry of National Heritage and Culture. No word yet on whether the mariners will try again to recreate this ancient trade route.
