Acts 27:2

"Embarking" We assume that the port of departure was Caesarea. "In an Adramyttian ship" The name here is pronounced add rah mitt ee um. The ship was so named because it originated from the city by this name, which was an important seaport of the Roman province of Asia. The site is now called Karatash, but. nearby town, Edremit, preserves the ancient name. "Which was about to sail to the regions along the coast of Asia" Apparently no ship had been available that was going directly to Rome, in consequence, the voyage from Caesarea to Malta took place in two stages and on two ships. This particular ship was now homeward bound and would sail on the coast of Asia Minor, in contrast to. larger ocean-going vessel. Luke then informs us that Aristarchus was also present.
