Clearwater
17 Feb
In 1966, Pete Seeger, his wife, Toshi Seeger, and a handful of Hudson Valley residents came together believing “by learning to care for one boat on one river, the public could come to care for all our threatened waterways.” Three years later, in 1969, the Clearwater made her maiden voyage down the Atlantic Coast from the Harvey Gamage Shipyard in Maine to the South Street Seaport in New York City.

“It was not going to be a graceful symbol of the past. It was going to try to restore the river.” – Pete
