"The Voyages of Shabab Oman with Captain Chris and her crew 1987-2009" by Nigel Bruen. Over a period of 20 years, Chris Biggins, the captain and his Omani crew of this famous sailboat have toured the world as unofficial ambassadors of Oman. The book is edited by @AlroyaNewspaper
This book pays tribute to Oman's sea faring heritage & lives that have been changed by Shabab Oman. Capt. Biggins led the ship & her many consecutive crews to make history for Oman. No other tall ship in the world has won the coveted Cutty Sark trophy as many times as Shabab Oman
In 2005 during the Tall Ships' Race I had the opportunity to spend a musical evening with the crew of Shabab Oman. Many years later, one of them gave me this beautiful book as an unexpected gift that tells us a beautiful story...
