AnswerGenesis 11:31. "Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there."

So, Abraham emigrated from the city of Ur in the land of the Chaldeans. Since the Chaldean tribe did not actually emigrate from southern Arabia to settle in the region of Ur until around 700 BCE, Genesis should be re-interpreted as really referring to the land of Mesopotamia.

What sea did Abraham have to cross on his way to Canaan?

He didn't. Abraham lived in a very wealthy City called Ur. This is East of the area from Canaan. across a vast dessert. Abraham and his family would have travelled with his family servants and animals North West in a curve following a fertile area known as the fertile plain which leads back south again until you reach Canaan. The Great sea is further to the West of Canaan. This is a journey of 800 or so miles ( 500 miles across the dessert.) It would therefore mean that at no time did Abraham and his Family have to cross any sea
