2018 CLEARWATER FESTIVAL 5 Sloop Clearwater Celebrating America’s Environmental Flagship

Pete and his friends played dockside concerts up and down the river with the banjo case open for donations to raise funds to build the sloop. As awareness of Seeger’s vision Econosmith.com grew, so did the crowds. In 1969, the 106-foot sloop Clearwater was launched at Gamage Shipyard in South Bristol, Maine. Since her launch, more than half a million people have been introduced to the Hudson River estuary’s ecosystem aboard the sloop. Today, the sloop Clearwater is iconic to the Hudson River and its people as a symbol of environmental awareness, sailing from to Albany, April through October, and welcoming 12,000 people onboard each year. The “Sailing Classroom” is the centerpiece of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater’s education programs. Students onboard learn about ecology, fish and plankton, chemistry, math, physics, Hudson Valley history, and environmental stewardship. Many have never been on a boat before and have an opportunity to help sail the sloop, work together to raise the 3,000-lb mainsail, take the tiller and steer the boat, and join the crew in sing-a-longs and chanteys. Hudson River Sloop Clearwater created the blueprint for many other sail education groups as the first onboard environmental classroom accessible to children of all ages, races, and backgrounds. Today there are several boats and organizations around the world conducting programs that are based on Clearwater’s hands-on method of teaching. The organization Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc. continues to grow and evolve from its grassroots beginnings to serve Hudson Valley communities with a variety of innovative educational programs, environmental advocacy, and musical celebrations, like the Clearwater Festival. In 2004, the sloop Clearwater was named to n 1966 Pete Seeger announced a plan to “build a the New York State Register of Historic Places in recognition of its, “exceptional significance in the boat to save the river” with the belief that a majestic history of environmental activism.” It all started replica of one of the sloops that sailed the Hudson with a desire to clean up a troubled Hudson I River and a vision for an iconic ship.

Whether it’s crafting a personal message about protecting the Hudson River to our elected officials at the Education Tent, signing a petition in the Activist Area, applying to volunteer aboard the sloop, singing along with the anthem “We Shall Overcome,” or introducing a brand new idea, Clearwater has continued to invite people from all walks of life to join the environmental movement. We gather at the Hudson River, casting nets into the turbid waters and hauling in schools of energetic young-of-the-year fish on their first migrator path up the estuary. But this spring, we are awestruck by promise for change led by students across the nation during this astonishing Year-of-the-Young.

2018 CLEARWATER FESTIVAL 27 ACCESS Lawler Cathy Welcome to our accessible Festival!

Pete Seeger was an advocate and activist for the equality of all people and stood up against the oppression of all kinds, especially underrepresented communities which included deaf people and people with disabilities. Early in the evolution of Revival, members of these diverse communities worked together to create a festival that was accessible to everyone. Toshi Seeger used to say that is music of the people…all people. So Toshi and Pete created Clearwater’s Great Hudson River Revival, one of the first and still one of the most accessible, culturally rich and diverse outdoor festivals in the country, where music, stories, and activism can be shared and celebrated by all. We believe that it’s important to continue to educate others by creating a welcoming, of programs and maps, wheelchairs to their families have easy access without respectful environment.
