Heartland Research Agreed to Purchase the Phoenicia for Display on the West Bank of the River Sidon at the Zarahemla Temple Site.

Yesterday a few inspired and special members of Heartland Research negotiated with the shipowner the terms for purchasing the Phoenicia, a faithful replica of a boat capable of bringing Mulek, the Prince of Judah, from Jerusalem to Zarahemla in the 6th Century Before Christ. They have done the world a service.

Yesterday we began the most critical project that Heartlanders can imagine. A project that will require the resources and energies of thousands of people.

We will build a beautiful facility to display the 40-ton handcrafted ship on the 9.3 acres of land that the Heartland Research Group owns in Iowa.

The replica of the ancient boat will be on the banks of the Mississippi River, looking east at the Nauvoo Temple. Faithful and curious people will come from around the world to see the replica of an ancient boat that has already crossed the Atlantic.

Please pay close attention to our efforts. We invite everyone to learn how the Prince of Judah, Mulek, came from Jerusalem and founded the Great City of Zarahemla in America.
