HUDSON RIVER SLOOP CLEARWATER

The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater is a unique sailing vessel located in Beacon, NY, that serves as an educational platform for environmental advocacy. The sloop is a replica of the traditional Hudson River sloops that plied the river in the 18th and 19th centuries, using the power of wind to transport goods and people. The Clearwater was built in 1969 by folk singer Pete Seeger and a group of volunteers, as a way to raise awareness about the pollution of the Hudson River and to promote environmental stewardship.
The Clearwater is 106 feet long, with a beam of 25 feet and a draft of 7 feet. It has two masts and a total sail area of 3,400 square feet. The vessel can accommodate up to 50 passengers and has a crew of five. The sloop is powered by wind, using a combination of sails and a diesel-electric motor when necessary.
The Clearwater offers educational programs, including day sails and overnight trips, that aim to teach participants about the ecology and history of the Hudson River, as well as the importance of environmental conservation. The sloop also hosts a variety of public events throughout the year, including concerts, festivals, and river cleanups.
