First century fishing boat found buried at the Sea of Galilee, a.k.a. "the Jesus boat"
First century fishing boat found buried at the Sea of Galilee, a.k.a. “the Jesus boat”
Capernaum was a fishing village on the coast of the Sea of Galilee at the time of Christ.  Several of the disciples were fisherman before meeting Jesus.  This is a fishing boat from the first century.  This boat was unearthed from the mud when the Sea of Galilee had receded during a drought.  Wikipedia tells us “The Ancient Galilee Boat, also known as the Jesus Boat, is an ancient fishing boat from the 1st century AD, discovered in 1986 on the north-west shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. The remains of the boat, 27 feet (8.27 meters) long, 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) wide and with a maximum preserved height of 4.3 feet (1.3 meters), first appeared during a drought, when the waters of the Sea (actually a great fresh-water lake) receded.[1] Other than the dating, there is no evidence connecting the boat to Jesus or his disciples.”  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee_Boat
