> Galilee Harbor is a houseboat community in Sausalito.

> >From the website of the Galilee Harbor Community Association, a

> 
> Residents of Galilee Harbor are actively employed in marine and artistic 
> occupations, including boat-building, boat repair, sail-making, marine 
> canvas work, creative writing, theater, painting, photography, and other 
> visual arts. Boat builders and their families have lived next to the Mono 
> Street Marsh in Sausalito since the 1800s when Italian fishing families 
> lived at the foot of Napa Street and built their traditional feluccas on 
> the beach. By the 1890s live-aboard barges served as vacation getaways for 
> wealthy San Franciscans. In 1906 the barges became full-time homes for San 
> Francisco residents displaced by the earthquake. In the 1940's Sausalito's 
> Marinship yard constructed merchant "Liberty" ships and tankers, employing 
> 70,000 workers.
