Re: Port or Dock.

Perhaps the confusion here is over terms. Clearly there was not a major 
port at Qumran. There would not have been enough trade to warrant one. 
However, there was surely a dock. They must have had boats.

So, if docks, then boats, if boats, then a dock, if no boats, no 
dock, if no dock, no boat - logics?

Is there, on the other hand, not a reference in Josephus to Romans 
sailing on the Dead Sea - the story about the Jews who were thrown 
into the sea so that the Romans could see that it was really as 
salted as maintained?
