The Sea of Galilee Boat, also known as the Jesus Boat, is an ancient fishing boat from the 1st century AD, discovered in 1986 during a drought. It is preserved and displayed at the Yigal Allon Museum in Ginosar. The boat provides a vivid connection to the fishing culture of the New Testament era. Visitors can view the reconstructed vessel in a climate-controlled hall, along with exhibits on its excavation and preservation. The museum also features multimedia presentations and artifacts from the region.
