Sea of Galilee boat
The Sea of Galilee boat, often called the "Jesus Boat," is an ancient wooden vessel discovered in 1986 near the Sea of Galilee in Israel. Dated to around the 1st century CE, it provides valuable insights into the types of boats used during that time period. The boat is approximately 27 feet long and was likely used for fishing and transportation. It was carefully reconstructed and is now displayed in a museum, helping visitors understand historical maritime life in the region where Jesus and his disciples lived.
