Galilee Boat Muesum

In 1986 near Kibbutz Ginosar on the shores of the Sea of Galilee a wood boat was found. The boat was two thousand years old. It dated to the time of Jesus. Thanks to this find, we now know what kind of boat Jesus sailed in, what it looked like, it's size and it's construction. The Sea of Galilee was very low and the low water level uncovered the boat. A museum was constructed to house the boat. This is our tour of the Boat Museum.
