Ep 22 - An Omani Ship in NYC - 1840 - a podcast by Bruce Burnside

This is the City Between podcast where we explore the hidden and unexpected corners of New York City's history. In this episode we go in search of the Sultanah, an Omani ship that reached New York's harbor in 1840 on a mission to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties between the Republic and the (then) expansive Omani Sultanate. It was an unforgettable summer for all in Manhattan and then Brooklyn, where we go visit the (still-standing) house that hosted the Omani guests.
