The Voyage

This is the story of an ocean
journey made in biblical times
by a group of people from the
Old World to the New World.
We have an account of the
journey written in the Book
of Mormon, a scripture used
by the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, but
unfortunately the account is
short and largely devoid of
detail on how a suitable ship
was built, how the journey was accomplished, and the route
they took.
This book is an attempt to fill in many of these gaps in
the light of some of the remarkable discoveries that have
made about ancient voyaging during the last century.
These discoveries clearly indicate that we have greatly
underestimated the skill, knowledge, and courage of the
ancient mariners, and the length and complexities of
their voyages.
As we discover more about the detailed history of the
Ancient World, we have come to realize that the journey we
have examined in these pages may be one of many made by
these intrepid mariners.
