Yigal Allon Museum in Kibbutz Ginnosar with the 2000-year-old 'Sea of Galilee Boat' or 'Jesus Boat'. The boat was discovered accidentally by two fishermen brothers in the Sea of Galilee near the Kibbutz Ginnosar. The boat emerged from the waters in 24 January, 1986 when the sea receded during a severe drought.

Kibbutz Ginnosar was established in 1937. Ginnosar was the home of famous Israeli politician and military general, Yigal Allon (1918-1980). He was buried in the cemetery of Kibbutz Ginnosar after his sudden demise in 1980. Today, the Kibbutz is more famous for its precious find-'the Jesus Boat'.
