Rev Quek's notes:
In 1986, an ancient boat was pulled from the mud along the north-western shore of the Sea of Galilee. It was a unique and exciting find that gives us an idea of the sort of boat used during the time of Jesus.
The boat appeared due to a great drought during which the waters of the lake receded and was discovered by the brothers Moshe and Yuval Lufan, second-generation fishermen from Kibbutz Ginosar. The brothers reported that when they found the boat, a double rainbow appeared in the sky. The subsequent archaeological dig was undertaken by members of the Kibbutz Ginosar, the Antiquities Authority, and many volunteers. It involved a delicate process of pulling the boat from the mud without damaging it, yet quickly enough to extract it before the water rose again. It took 12 days and nights to shore up the boat. It then had to be submerged in a chemical bath for 7 years before it could be displayed.
The boat has been dated to the 1st century AD.
