Sail freight comes to the 21st Century.
About this Event

A team of ambitious, young adventurers, led by Captain Sam Merrett, have been working steadily to restore the schooner Apollonia and return it to the water.

The Apollonia has been trawling ports from Hudson to Kingston, Beacon, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, Piermont and Ossining, its hold stuffed with all kinds of upstate goods headed south—and products made in Brooklyn and Manhattan returning back north—using only sustainable energy: sail power and/or vegetable oil!

At a moment when global shipping is in the news every day for its pandemic-spawned slowdown, and as people consider the carbon and sonic footprint of those overnight Amazon orders, shipping by fossil-free sail freight makes more and more sense.

Location: Virtual, open to stream at any time June 25th-27th. A link to view the film will be emailed to you directly from Sustainable Woodstock on the first day of the screening.
