TaiPing sets sail for Saipan

Honolulu Star - Bulletin | February 17, 2009| | Copyright

The Princess TaiPing, designed along the lines of Chinese oceangoing vessels of centuries ago, left Honolulu for Saipan yesterday, edging closer to home and the end of its historic trans-Pacific voyage.

The TaiPing crew is making the crossing in part to quiet critics who have doubts about historical accounts of ancient Chinese vessels making long Pacific journeys.

The TaiPing, launched in January 2008 after six years of research and development, sailed from Taiwan to Okinawa and Japan, then crossed 5,100 miles of ocean to Northern California, sailing down to San Diego before coming to Hawaii.
