The Young Men at the Helm program for boys age 15 to 18 began a three-day journey aboard the Hudson River Clearwater Sloop Wednesday, July 30, departing from Yonkers. The onboard leadership training program provides a hands-on learning experience in local ecology, heritage, navigation and maritime skills. The photo below was taken by Clearwater’s onboard educator Jacinta Early from the dock as the young men prepared to set sail.
