This boat is the namesake of the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, the organization created by Pete and Toshi Seeger to advocate for cleaning up the Hudson. It's one of the reasons why these boats are sailing on relatively clean water today. In a just society, it would sail in a place of honor.

The Clearwater was actually supposed to be in the parade today and the Coast Guard pulled it because they were flying banners that the Trump government doesn’t agree with. 🤬
Hudson River Sloop Clearwater 0
21m •
BREAKING NEWS: Clearwater was removed from the Sail4th 250 Parade of Sail by the USCG and escorted out of the Exclusion Zone by the US
Coast Guard, US Navy, and NYPD.
Captain Rory Kane inquired why, and was informed the removal was due to the presence of banners reading: "Save the Clean Water Act" and Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions".
A representative from Sail4th 250 informed the Captain the decision was "above them."
The sloop has a long and storied history of using the mains'I to share messages of hope and advocacy.
The Clearwater will continue sailing south of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge until 3pm and has 29 passengers and 19 crew aboard. Follow our stories to see how we're building solidarity from Gravesend Bay, waiting out the expiration of the security zone.

Pete Seeger’s Sloop Clearwater flew banners promoting indigenous justice, climate action and the Clean Water Act and was blocked by the Coast Guard and NYPD from its long planned role escorting a Portuguese tall ship in the parade of sail.

The Coast Guard just removed the Clearwater from the tall ship parade in NYC for having "Save the Clean Water Act" and "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions” banners. They were escorted out by the Coast Guard, US Navy, and NYPD. www.instagram.com/p/DaYOP8OlIq...
It's a banner on one side of the Clearwater's main sail that reads "Save the Clean Water Act" and has a drawing of Pete Seeger's banjo on it.It's a banner on the other side that says "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions”.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 04/07/2026
Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

The White House first invents a problem, then uses that to justify infringing upon our rights.
Screenshot of a tweet from “Home of the Brave” quoting Sarah Matthews claiming that a Utah audit of more than 2 million registered voters found only one undocumented immigrant registered, who never voted. Below is a TV news still of a blonde woman speaking on MSNBC, with a chyron reading, “Trump ignores reality as he ramps up election lies.”
