Some went down to the Sea in Ships (Psalms 107: 23): Mediterranean Seafaring in the Bronze Age (3000-1200 B.C.)

Dr. Shelley Wachsmann Texas A & M University

This illustrated lecture gives a broad overview of the blue-water ships of the major Bronze Age cultures of the eastern Mediterranean during the Bronze Age, including those of the Egyptians, Syro-Canaanites, Cypriots, Minoans, Mycenaeans and the Sea Peoples. Using contemporaneous archaeological, iconographic and textual evidence, this lecture follows the evolution of ships and delves into pertinent aspects of seafaring, such as trade, warfare and navigation.
