RESEARCH RECORD
Ella Werker examines the boat’s timbers and the relationship between wood properties and structural function.
This record provides bibliographic details and independent reading notes. The full study was written by the authors listed in the publication details; the link leads to its source.
Examination identified 12 plant genera in the boat, with cedar and oak among the principal woods. The study relates timber selection to material properties, availability and the role of each component. 1.
Begin with the structural part: plank, frame, keel or joint. One wood can serve different functions, so a species list alone does not describe construction technology. Examine how botanical identification connects to the structure and which questions that connection can answer.
The materials-and-exchange guide extends discussion of raw materials and supply distances. The original study identifies timbers; wood identification alone does not establish a particular builder or user of the boat.

Object
A wooden boat exposed in 1986 on the bed of the Sea of Galilee, conserved for 14 years and displayed at the Yigal Allon Centre. The centre dates it "some 2,000 years ago": a wording without a range, so the boat is not placed on the timeline.

Visiting trail
A day's visit that connects two museums: a fifth-century BCE ship in Haifa and a boat "from some 2,000 years ago" at Ginosar, with a possible ending on the shore where the sea keeps what it keeps. Five steps; visiting details on the official sites only.
