SEA OF GALILEE BOAT FROM THE TIME OF JESUS
Dr. Shelley Wachsmann, Texas A& M University
In 1986 a 2,000-year-old boat was discovered in Israel on the banks of the Sea of Galilee (Yam Kinneret) near the ancient site of Migdal. In a daring and hair-raising non-stop adventure directed by Dr. Wachsmann, the boat was excavated, packaged in its entirety, and moved to a specially-prepared conservation pool. Research reveals that this is the type of boat mentioned in the Gospels and used by the disciples of Jesus. It is also the type of boat used by the Jews in the brutal nautical Battle of Migdal in A.D. 67, against a makeshift Roman fleet. This illustrated lecture describes the adventure of the boat's discovery and excavation, and then delves into what research has revealed about the boat and its milieu.
