The Story of Galilee
You are in a little corner of Narragansett Rhode Island called Galilee, which has an engaging quality all its own. Galilee is an authentic working New England fishing village. You can watch the fishermen unloading their catch almost anytime. You Can watch sun shimmering on the sea, and sniff salty tang in the air. Go for a swim at three spectacular beaches, Captain Roger Wheeler State Beach, Salty Brine State Beach, Or George's own beach. Gab with the locals, they are friendly folks.
Go fishing for the day aboard one of the many charter fishing vessels. Watch the quahoggers digging clams on the salt pond. Take an sightseeing cruise on a whale watching expedition. Galilee is fun for the whole family. Relax and go shopping in the many quality gift shops. Enjoy the unhurried pace. Galilee- Pride, Tradition and a Way of Life
How Galilee Got It's Name
In 1902, the story goes, Thomas Mann a fisherman from nova Scotia who had settled here ,felt the village that had sprung up with it's fishing shacks should be called Galilee, after the fishing village of biblical times. One day, an old timer sat on the docks repairing his nets when a stranger called out to him, "Where am I". The answer was "Galilee". "And what is that?" the stranger asked pointing to the other side of the channel. The old timer thought for a minute, nodded his head and replied, "must be
Jerusalem". And so the name of Galilee and Jerusalem have been used since to denote a most picturesque part of Rhode Island
