Hudson River Foundation’s Post

What are you doing on Saturday, July 13? 📆 Join us at 5pm for a captivating City of Water Day screening of the inspiring short film WindShipped (dir. Jon Bowermaster Oceans 8 Films, 2022), co-presented by the Waterfront Alliance and CFF at the South Street Seaport Museum. Bringing together past, present, and future on the Hudson River, WindShipped reveals the intersections between climate solutions, fossil-free cargo, and community action on New York’s waterways. A thought-provoking panel discussion with the filmmakers and protagonists will follow the screening. About WindShipped: What started as one man’s quixotic dream has turned into reality. For the past five years the 65-foot Schooner Apollonia has been delivering goods up and down the Hudson River by sail—sans fossil fuels—a throwback to a time when there were 1,200 such boats on the river each day. It turns out buyers prefer the non-polluting, anti-Amazon way of making deliveries. Advance registration is recommended for this free event — save your spot: https://lnkd.in/dthD42Mi #windpower #southstreetseaport #nycwaterfront #cityofwaterday #downtownnyc #filmscreening
