Galilee Boat

Through Jim Davila I read an article on the “Jesus Boat,” believed to be 2,000 years old. Just a short note — the picture of the wooden boat at Bible Places may give the impression that this is the boat. The Yigal Allon Centre Museum right next to the Sea of Galilee houses the ancient Galilee boat. Here is a picture I took of the boat from last summer:

    Hello Paul — click on the Bible Places link above. It tells a little bit about it. It was discovered about 1986 on the northern shore of the Sea.

    I just visited this site today. It is awesome. The museum surrounding it is well done, with informational films, as well.
