The reed boat Abora III is towed along the Hudson River in New York before setting sail July 11, 2007. Abora III, led by German sailor and explorer Dominique Goerlitz and a crew of 12 from five different countries, is attempting to sail across the Atlantic to Spain in an effort to prove that goods could have been traded across the Atlantic Ocean in ancient vessels thousands of years before Christopher Columbus or the Vikings crossed it.[Reuters]
