On the 25 of June of each year, the world celebrates the International Day of Seafarers, as a reminder of their importance due to the harsh conditions they are exposed to and the hardships they endure. Sailors in ancient Egypt had a distinguished status, mentioned in texts, represented in scenes, or carved on board ships while performing their work. The work done would include royal voyages, the sacred barks of the gods and their processions, or on board warships, or huge merchant ships. One of the most famous of these expeditions is the trade mission that the Egyptian fleet embarked on to the Phoenician coast during the reign of King Snefru (ca. 2575-2551 B. C) to import cedar timber, the fleet included a large group of sailors on board about 40 ships.
