Sarimanok is a vinta that was sailed in 1985 from Bali to Madagascar across the Indian Ocean to replicate ancient seafaring techniques.[1][2][3] The ship is now at the Oceanographic Museum (Le musée du Centre National de Recherches Océanographique) of Nosy Be, an island off the northeastern coast of Madagascar.[1]
