Sloop Clearwater visits PortSide NewYork


  • Pier 11, Atlantic Basin Clinton Wharf Brooklyn, NY 11231 USA (map)

The sloop Clearwater will be returning to PortSide and will be docking alongside the Mary Whalen, June 9 - June 13, 2026. Please check their website for times and availability of Education and Public Sails. Currently there are public sails scheduled for Friday, June 12, Saturday June 13 and Saturday June 19.

When the Clearwater is not out sailing, she will be tied alongside the Mary Whalen; an added feature of PortSide’s TankerTime.

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.”
