neo-argonauts

I just saw on the news a story about a replica argonaut rowing boat that has been built.
All traditional build with tools of the time, wooden pegs and wedges etc.
Apparantly they are now trying to find a fit-enough rowing crue for the planned voyage.

I couldn't find any story's or links for it.
I think the boat was called "Argo"
anyone know about it?

Hans.

Is it a new project or maybe program about TIm Severin's expedition from few years ago?

The news presented it as a new story-
The boat had just been finished and they were now opening the search for a crew of fit-enough rowers to complete the voyage

Maybe it was just a recycled old news story?
It wouldn't surprise me...

Dunno.
