Meaning & History
Taken from the Hebrew name Noach meaning "rest, comfort". In the Old Testament, God ordered Noah to build an Ark, a great ship that would ultimately save him and his family and two of every kind of animal from the Flood, God's judgment on the evil world. After nearly one year since the start of the rains and the floodwaters of the Deep, God's mercy was shown to Noah and his family and they were commanded to fill the earth once more, always remembering God's promise, as seen in the rainbow He placed in the sky.

I like your pictures of the boats. So neat!

thanks! I love ships and found this comparison of the Ark and other well- known ships quite interesting. It gives you an idea of the sizes, that's for sure. =]
