A large wooden boat, dating to the early Roman period, has been excavated from the Israeli coast of the Sea of Galilee. A method was devised to reinforce the hull with fiberglass frames and trusses before it was raised. Additional support was provided by encasing the boat in polyurethane foam. The excavated area was then flooded, enabling the boat to float up the coast to the Yigal Allon Museum in Ginosar, where a special pool had been constructed. After removing the polyurethane foam, the boat was submerged. A long-term polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatment to consolidate the waterlogged wood is now in progress. -- AATA
