Check the schedule below to see when the sloop
will be near your town!
Join us onboard the sloop Clearwater, a majestic replica of the cargo sloops that traveled the Hudson River in the 18th and 19th centuries, as we sail from a variety of docks from Albany to New York City, April through October. During the spring, we are joined on the river by the schooner Mystic Whaler, a replica of 19th-century coastal cargo schooner.
While onboard, experience an authentic sail:
* Learn about the Hudson River’s history, biology, and environmental concerns
* Experience the beauty of the Hudson River and its shores from a new perspective
* Join in “all hands to the halyards” to help hoist the sails
* Steer the boat with the 11-foot tiller
* Meet the crew of a working tall ship and visit their living quarters below decks
* Experience our tradition of a moment of silence and reflection
* Enjoy (or sing along with) music provided by the crew
* Relax and enjoy being out on the water.
