VERSE (6) -
:1

SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:6

Y hallando allí el centurin una nave Alejandrina que navegaba a Italia, nos puso en ella.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 27:6

Verse 6. A
ship of Alexandria] It appears, from ver. 38, that this ship was laden with wheat, which she was carrying from Alexandria to Rome. We know that the Rom. imported much corn from Egypt, together with different articles of Persian and Indian merchandise.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 6. And there the
centurion found a ship of Alexandria , etc.] Alexandria was the chief city in Egypt, built by Alexander the great, from whom it took its name; it was situated near the sea, and had a famous haven or port, which R. Benjamin calls hayrdnskla l lmnh , the port of Alexandria; from hence ships were sent into several parts for trade and commerce, and one of these Julius found at Myra: the top sail was a distinguishing sign of a ship of Alexandria, for none might spread their top sails but ships of Alexandria f1261 ; these were not obliged to strike sail when they came into a port: the Jewish writers make frequent mention of tyrdnskla hnyps , a ship of Alexandria f1262 ; by which they intend a ship of a large bulk, which had a cistern in it for fresh water for a long voyage; and by this they distinguish ships of bulk from those small ones, that were used about their coasts; a ship of Alexandria with them was a ship that went from the land of Israel to Alexandria; whereas here it seems to design one that belonged to Alexandria, and went from thence to other parts: and this ship was sailing into Italy ; and it was usual for ships to go from Alexandria to Puteoli in Italy, and from thence to Alexandria upon trade and business f1263 and he put us therein ; the centurion removed Paul and his companions, and the rest of the prisoners, with whatsoever soldiers were under his care, out of the ship of Adramyttium, into the ship of Alexandria; that is, he ordered them to remove out of one into the other.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-11 - It was determined by the
counsel of God, before it was determined by the counsel of Festus, that Paul should go to Rome; for God had wor for him to do there. The course they steered, and the places the touched at, are here set down. And God here encourages those who suffe for him, to trust in him; for he can put it into the hearts of those to befriend them, from whom they least expect it. Sailors must make the best of the wind: and so must we all in our passage over the ocean of this world. When the winds are contrary, yet we must be getting forwar as well as we can. Many who are not driven backward by cros providences, do not get forward by favourable providences. And man real Christians complain as to the concerns of their souls, that the have much ado to keep their ground. Every fair haven is not a saf haven. Many show respect to good ministers, who will not take their advice. But the event will convince sinners of the vanity of their hopes, and the folly of their conduct.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

6. A
ship of Alexandria. Employed in the immense corn trade between Italy and Egypt. See verse 38. The size of the vessel may be inferred from verse 37.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

27:6 {
Sailing for Italy} (pleon eis ten italian). this was the opportunity for which Lysias had been looking. So he put (enebibasen, first aorist active of embibazw, to cause to enter. Cf. epibantes in verse #2) prisoners and soldiers on board. this was a ship of Alexandria bound for Rome, a grain ship (#38) out of its course because of the wind. Such grain ships usually carried passengers.
