Pete
Seeger, founder and mentor of the Hudson
River Sloop Clearwater, envisions the Ships to Save the
Waters (SSW) as a
venue for networking water-based programs,
sharing educational methodologies and exposing
the work of a broad range of environmental and
community-based organizations to the
public-at-large.
Each year since 2000 hosting
organizations have invited ships with
environmental messages along with many other
organizations committed to education about our
watersheds, waterways, coastal ecosystems and
oceans from the headwaters to the sea to join together for
a conference.

The
Vision
|
The
waters of the world are precious. Traditional
sailing vessels are magical places where waters
share their secrets and expose our vulnerability.
SSW brings these special vessels together
with communities of learners, broadcasts their
message and recruits new stewards for
sustainable, healthy world waters for this and
future generations.
