Research on Jewish settlement of the Land of Israel in the modern
era has long neglected the sea and its shores. This book explores
the Yishuv's hold on the Mediterranean and other bodies of water
during the British Mandate in Palestine and the Zionist "maritime
revolution," a shift from a focus on land-based development to an
embrace of the sea as a source of security, economic growth,
clandestine immigration (haapala), and national pride. The
transformation is tracked in four spheres - ports, seamanship,
fishery, and education - and viewed within the context of the
Jewish/Arab conflict, internal Yishuv politics, and the Second
World War. Archives, memoirs, press, and secondary sources all help
illuminate the Zionist Movement's road to maritime sovereignty. By
the State of Israel's founding in 1948, the Yishuv had a
flourishing nautical presence: a national shipping company, control
over the country's three active ports, maritime athletics, fish
farming, and a nautical training school.
