TUESDAY, MAY 2ND, 2023, PHOENICIAN NIGHT AT THE NEW YORK EXPLORERS CLUB DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN

Headquartered next to Central Park in New York City with a community of Chapters around the world, The Explorers Club has agreed to let Heartland Research use its facilities to present the restoration of the Phoenician Ship in Montrose, Iowa to the world.

We are grateful for the opportunity to share the stage with overseas guests from Carthage, Tunisia and Morocco. We will gather together with diplomats and representatives of the press and cultural affairs to celebrate the success of Captain Philip Beale’s expeditions where he showed the world how ancient Phoenician ships were capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean to America 2,000 years before Columbus.

The event will give a chance for the descendants of the Phoenicians to come to New York to claim their rightful place as the best seafarers of the ancient world. Governments and Kingdoms from North Africa will send their representatives to honor the historic significance of Captain Beale’s trans-oceanic crossing.

Heartland Research will be the host for the night as we bring to the attention of the world that Captain Beale’s 600 B.C.

The Phoenician Ship Replica is now in Montrose, Iowa on the west bank of the Mississippi River. A museum will be constructed there with the ship as its center piece. The museum that will be dedicated to the brave Phoenician seafarers who came to America 2,600 years ago. At this new museum representatives from North Africa and the Middle East will bring to the attention of the New World the culture and history of their people.

This night on May 2nd will be a significant international event involving the efforts of hundreds of people who have supported Captain Beale over the last 30 years as he devoted his life and fortune to building and sailing a faithful replica of a ship that would have been familiar to the best sailors of the ancient world.

Heartland Research has opened a new website where we will bring to the attention of more people who want to learn more about the Phoenician Ship Museum in Montrose, Iowa. Click here to see the website. We are creating a knowledge hub where you can come to read hundreds of articles and to see hundreds of videos.

In the coming months we will focus our attention on several items including the following:

▪ Organization of a Phoenician Night in May 2023 at the New York Explorers Club in Manhattan. We are involving government and civic leaders from Carthage, Tunisia and Morocco. We will feature the restoration of the Phoenician Ship in America. We will invite people from around the country and world to come to the Center of New York where they will have a chance to appreciate the seafaring skills of the Phoenicians in coming to America 2,000 years before Columbus.
▪ The Heartland Research Board has reviewed detailed plans for the restoration of the 2,600-year-old replica. Last summer we had 3,000 hours of volunteer labor. We are only at the beginning. Next summer we expect to double the number of volunteers. Last summer we managed to put together about 18% of the 40-ton ship. By the end of next summer we expect that more than 50% of the ship will be together. There will soon be thousands of people who will come and see the world’s oldest and largest ship replica that has crossed the Atlantic. The ship will stand as witness of ancient people who came from the East by sea to America in 600 B.C.

HRG History — by Jay Mackley
HISTORY AND MISSION STATEMENT OF THE

The Heartland Research Group is a grassroots, boots-on-the-ground organization that believes that the historical narrative of the Book of Mormon took place in the Heartland of North America. The HRG is active in archaeological research and in the acquisition, restoration and display of ancient American artifacts. The HRG is currently preparing an ancient ship replica called the "Phoenicia" for display. The ships construction design is patterned after a shipwreck dating to 600 BC. The Phoenicia ship made modern voyages, first around Africa and then also from the Middle East to Florida in 2019 – proving that voyages around Africa or from Sidon to North America were feasible anciently.

Heartland Research Inc is a 501c3 private operating foundation for archaeological research and to complete preparations for the Phoenicia display. Current plans are for a museum large enough to house the Phoenicia ship and many other ancient artifacts and exhibits from North America. The location of the museum is planned to be in Zarahemla which is Lee County Iowa, near the Mississippi river and east of Nauvoo, Illinois.

Our activities are too many to list, but some recent major expeditions are listed below. Many of these expeditions are open-ended and we expect to continue research in these and other similar activities as time, resources, and volunteers become available. We have dozens of volunteers and hundreds of donors, large and small, but we need many more. Check out the websites listed below for details of Heartland Research Group projects. Our current project is is our biggest yet: to refurbish the Phoenicia ship for display.
