Comments: View of the "Minoa", a replica of an ancient Cretan ship from the Minoan civilization based on figurative representations from the 15th century BC. The ship is on display in a shed at the Neorio Moro docks in the port of Chania , in Crete (Greece). View of the single mast and the sail, rectangular in shape, wider than high.
