The ancient boat from the Sea of Galilee exhibited at the Yigal Allon Museum at Kibbutz Ginosar speaks of pivotal times on the lake two millennia ago, when an itinerant rabbi walked its shores and sailed its waters with his followers, changing the world forever. Written by Shelley Wachsmann, the director of the excavation that uncovered the boat, Understanding the Boat from the Time of Jesus: Galilean Seafaringgives the non-expert reader an in-depth understanding of the boat and the story of its discovery. Most importantly, it illuminates Jesus' ministry by helping us better understand seafaring and fishing on the Sea of Galilee in late antiquity.
