Encyclopedia : S : SH : SHA : Shabab

The Shabab was built in Scotland in 1971 for the Sultanate of Oman from solid oak and an assortment of other fine Scottish timber. She is ranked among the world's tallest ships today. The ship is 52 metres long and 30 meters high.

Arriving in the Sultanate in 1976, Shabab Oman was initially placed under the purview of the Ministry of Youth.

Three years later, she was inducted into the Royal Navy of Oman (RNO) as a sail training ship.
