The location of the future city was traditionally scouted by three captain-sailors who in 1628 BCE took refuge from a particularly fierce storm. They named the peninsula {{ugaritic|𐎌𐎒𐎋𐎐𐎁𐎓𐎍}} ''šskn.bʔl'' /šaskana baʕlu/ “Ba‘al has prepared” for the natural harbours providing shelter. The area became a favourite rest stop for many sailors and ultimately a refuge for pirates. An expedition from Ugarit in 1397 BCE destroyed the pirate base and construction of some sort appears to have taken place. No permanent settlement is recorded until seven years later when the {{ugaritic|𐎖𐎗𐎚 𐎗𐎈𐎁𐎚}} ''qrt rḥbt'' /qarītu raḥabāti/ “City of Amphorae” is mentioned as having been founded on the ''šskn.bʕl'' to “prevent disruption, to provide rest, to prosper trade”. | The location of the future city was traditionally scouted by three captain-sailors who in 1628 BCE took refuge from a particularly fierce storm.
