Series contains material relating to Tibbett's role as consultant in the Sindbad voyage project (1980-1981), which was led by Tim Severin. This was an attempt to recreate the fictional voyage of Sindbad the sailor in the publication 'The book of one thousand and one nights.' This involved creating a replica of an early Arab trading ship and completing a 6,000 mile journey to sail it all the way to China. Most of this material concerns the Heritage of Oman festival which sponsored the voyage.
