From "Life Is a Rock" PAUL DIFRANCO AND NORMAN DOLPH Preface This book concerns a unique and exciting treasure: the first ancient boat ever found in the Sea of Galilee. It is both an adventure story and a whodunit. It is not a report solely of the facts. Many of the descriptions that follow are also of feelings and impressions. It is a story as seen through my eyes. Others who participated in this undertaking would no doubt describe their experiences differently, for each and every one of us perceives reality in his or her own unique way. Acknowledgments No book dealing with the Galilee Boat can begin without first paying tribute to the many men and women, organizations and groups, who gave their time, effort, and money to this venture. This was a team effort, but it was undertaken by individuals, with­ out whose dedication the endeavor never would have succeeded. The rescue excavation of the Galilee Boat was a project of the Israel Department of Antiquities and Museums (lOAM; now the Israel Antiquities Authority, IAA). A. Eitan, the fonner director of lOAM, made the courageous decision to excavate the boat, despite considerable odds against a successful outcome. I am grateful to him for his unstinting support throughout the expedition. I am also indebted to A. Drori, the present director of the lAA, for permission to present the story of the boat here. Additional members of the Department's staff gave signifi­ cant assistance to the excavation: Deputy Director Z. Yeivin and District Archaeologist G. Mazor helped with the many adminis­ trative aspects; Claire Epstein served as a liaison in the initial stages; Orna Hess handled the extensive media interest; E. Ka­ zaioff and Y. Majar transported supplies and personnel; A. Klig­ man and E. Kohai, who were responsible for logistics, kept the expedition well supported; M. Feist, V. Shor, and Y. Vatkin, the Department's surveyors, mapped the site; Y. Stepansky was in­ strumental in notifying me of the boat's discovery and was very xi xii Acknowledgments helpful throughout the excavation; at night the excavation site was guarded by lOAM's Anti-Looting Unit: I. Ben Yehuda, T. Frank, M. Katz, and Z. Levi. My thanks also go to Ruta Peled, the IAA's chief curator. It remains Ruta's concern to find and allocate the funding for the boat's various needs-a difficult job, but one which Ruta carries out with distinction. The members of Kibbutz Ginosar adopted the rescue mission and made it their own. Without their unbridled enthusiasm and dedication, the boat would never have made it. M. and Y. Lufan, the two brothers who discovered the boat, continually exhibited an exuberance and ingenuity that sustained the excavation in times of doubt and difficulty. Y. Abes, D. Ronen, and Y. Amitai, the "Ginosar Fiberglass Team," built the frames and supports. And special thanks are due to kibbutz members S. Edri, Nurit Gofer, Y. Gofer, G. Klop, M. Lipnik,l. Lufan, Aliza Paz, O. Sabag, Y. Rotem, and E. Shalem. Providentially, the boat was found near the Yigal Allon Centre, whose staff and administrative resources unceasingly supported the excavation and continue to support the conservation phases. A particular debt of gratitude is due to Nitsa Kaplan and I. Rotem. Members of Moshav Migdal contributed considerably during the excavation. I want to thank S. Karasanti for the use of his mechanical backhoe, as well as Z. Malach and G. Horowitz for their valuable assistance. The safety of the boat during the excavation was a particular concern, given the unceasing press of visitors. The site's security was directed by E. Janet, who was responsible for security in the Kibbutz Ginosar region. In this task he was assisted by I. Ra­ binovitch, M. Tayar, M. Lieberman, U. Kach, Y. Even, and the border guard station at Tabgha. Ambassador T. Pickering and Alice Pickering are keen ama­ teur archaeologists, and through them, the American Embassy came to playa major part in the project's success. The travel expenses for Professor Steffy to take part in the excavation were processed through the United States Information Service in record time. I am indebted to public affairs counselor H. Lane and cul- Acknowledgments xiii tural affairs officer R. Petersen for what amounted to a bureau­ cratic miracle. Ambassador Pickering and Science Attache A. Rock also secured the donation of forty tons of polyethylene glycol for the boat's conservation process. I am also indebted to embassy family members Karen Sullivan and Nan Leininger, who partici­ pated in the excavation. The challenge of protecting the site from the rising waters of the Sea of Galilee and keeping the groundwater that welled up inside the excavation pit at bay was a task admirably accom­ plished by members of the Kinneret Authority. For this assistance I thank the Authority's chairman, Z. Ortenberg, S. Bahalal, and staff members 1. O. Bakish, R. Gada, and I. Gal. The Tsemach Fire Station donated the sandbags used in the dike. Faced with novel problems, we searched for innovative solu­ tions. Israeli experts called upon for advice gave freely of their time and knowledge. Special thanks are due to engineers A. Aharonson and I. Yakobinski; G. Shamir of the Haifa Port Author­ ity; A. Halamish of Kibbutz Ma' agan Michael; M. Gophen of the Kinneret Authority Laboratories; D. Shenhav of the Israel Mu­ seum Laboratories; and Y. Ziv, director of Israel Chemicals. The success of the excavation was largely due to the unceas­ ing dedication and perseverance of the expedition staff; indeed, it is difficult for me to envision a better one. Conservation was a major component of this project. Orna Cohen, the boat's conserva­ tor, shouldered a heavy burden throughout the excavation, trans­ fer, and conservation phases, the last of which continues to this day. It fell to Orna to find solutions to protect the fragile hull during excavation and to move it to the conservation site. Orna eventually found innovative solutions to each problem. D. Syon (Friedman) faithfully recorded the excavation with his cameras. Some of the fruits of his labors illustrate the following pages. When not occupied with photography, Danny took on the often backbreaking job of stringing and tagging the boat's timbers. Later he assisted diligently in the process of removing the poly­ urethane foam from the boat once she was in the pool. I asked Edna Amos to help out as registrar temporarily when she visited the site on the first day of the excavation. She remained through xiv Acknowledgments The crew.

K. Raveh assisted considerably in the initial probe of the boat and during the excavation. Volunteers came in droves from all over Israel and from all walks of life. Each person contributed in his or her own way to the success of the project. I thank B. Azraf, L. Baron, A. Bolodo, M. Cohen, G. Efroni, M. Gallon, H. Han, Y. Ostrovski, and D. Pearl. Those who had artistic abilities were employed in recording in freehand drawings the boat and the related finds as they came out of the mud. Hani Efroni drew the boat's interior, while R. MaIka sketched additional remnants of hulls found in the boat's vicinity. The excavation received much unsolicited coverage by repre­ sentatives of the media, two of whom deserve special recognition: the late Z. Han, archaeological correspondent for the Israel daily Davar, lost a "scoop" but gained my deep respect for his sense of responsibility; M. Ben Dor, cameraman for one of the large Ameri­ can networks, provided considerable help during the excavation.

  • The Sea of Galilee Boat
    68 JOURNAL OF FAITH AND THE ACADEMY ======================================================== Wachsmann, Shelley. The Sea of Galilee Boat. College Station, Texas: Texas A & M University Press, 2009 [1995, 2000]. 424 pp., paperback, $23.00. Review by L. Edward Hicks It is very rare when a book can simultaneously interest Biblical archaeologists, marine archaeologists, and those interested in more information about the Battle of Migdal as told by Josephus in his History of the Jewish Wars of Liberation, but Shelley Wachsmann has accomplished this feat magnificently in his fascinating and very readable story of the discovery, rescue, and preservation of a first-century fishing boat from the Sea of Galilee. The story is a fascinating tale of how a host of people from many different backgrounds and occupations worked almost around the clock for a period of twelve days excavating and transporting the extremely fragile boat from the mud of the lake’s rising waters without damaging it. The boat was then submerged in a chemical bath for 7 years before it could be displayed in the Yigal Allon Museum very near where it was discovered and rescued by members of Kibbutz Ginosar. Not only does Wachsmann praise the hundreds of volunteers from the Kibbutz for their untiring devotion to and work on the project, but he also illustrates how several of these untrained helpers actually formulated some of the previously untested methods for unearthing, cleaning, and documenting the project that proved to be groundbreaking solutions to the myriad of problems that the professional archaeologists from the Israeli Antiquities Authority had never before faced. Not only does each chapter highlight an important phase of the salvage and restoration, but Wachsmann weaves into the narrative significant aspects of the importance of the find with a brief description of the technical aspects of marine and Biblical archaeology.

  • The Boat in the Storm an Interactive Story Based on Mark 4:35–41
    Resources for religious education classes Stories of Hope: The Miracles of Jesus The Boat in the Storm An interactive story based on Mark 4:35–41 Materials required: Masking tape; stool; cushion Preparation: Mark the outline of the boat on the floor with tape according to the diagram below. Place the stool and the cushion as indicated. One person should act as narrator. Depending on the size of the class there are two ways of allocating acting roles to the pupils: 1) Jesus, Peter and four other disciples The four disciples act as the oarsmen in the narrative and sit in the positions indicated on the diagram; all other pupils form the outline of the boat. 2) as above but with 7 additional disciples in the boat as indicated on the diagram. The pupils forming the boat should sit or kneel on the outline marked on the floor and either interlock their arms, put their arms around their neighbours’ shoulders, or hold hands so that there are no gaps between them. At the beginning of the story, the 5 or 12 disciples and Jesus stand outside the boat on the ‘shore’. The pupils forming the boat enact the movements marked in italics in the story, and the disciples and Jesus act out the underlined movements appropriate for each character. Diagram: Story: It was evening and the sun was already low on the horizon. The Lake of Galilee was calm with only a few waves making their way lazily to the shore and the surface of the water gleaming with hues of gold and orange.
