The sailing ship Clearwater (a Hudson River sloop) is offering a special public sail with Erin Heddy talking about the Queer History of the NYC Waterfront

Time: Saturday, August 30, 2025 at 1 PM – 3:30:00 PM.
When not sailing she will be tied alongside the Mary Whalen; an added feature of PortSide’s TankerTime.

The 1 pm sail is a flexible fare. These sails book up fast. You must go to Clearwater’s website to get your spot. Sails disappear from Clearwater’s calendar once they are filled. We suggest you book sail tickets well in advance. If you have any questions about the sail schedule, email: sail@clearwater.org.

Note: 1pm is the sail time, you need to arrive at least 15 minutes before then.

More about the Clearwater from their website “In 1966, folk music legend and environmental activist Pete Seeger, in despair over the pollution of his beloved Hudson River, announced plans to “build a boat to save the river.” Seeger, along with many other concerned individuals, believed that a majestic replica of the sloops that sailed the Hudson in the 18th and 19th centuries would bring people to the river where they could experience its beauty and be moved to preserve it.”
