When the Apostle Paul was sent from Caesarea to Rome to be tried before Caesar, he travelled in a Roman merchant ship. This book helps children envisage this time period with 24 pages of information about ships, saling in New Testament times and about Paul's eventful voyage. With exciting graphics and explanatory text you learn how the Roman merchant ships were built, what materials were used, their cargo, passengers and sea traffic of the time. Children can make their own full colour Roman ship model using the diecut pressout pieces stored in the pocket in the inside back cover.
