Support RiverWise Documentary Films
Help tell the river's story. In 2021 and beyond, the Hudson River Maritime Museum is focusing on four primary themes for feature-length documentary films. Sponsorships will help us complete these films in a timely manner with professional film staff.
Hudson River Lighthouses Series
The Hudson River has had lighthouses since the 1820s. This film series will examine the histories of 8 lighthouses: Hudson-Athens, Saugerties, Rondout, Esopus Meadows, Stony Point, Tarrytown, Jeffrey's Hook, and Robbin's Reef. Each lighthouse will have its own episode, bracketed by introduction and conclusion episodes to create the ten episode film series. Featuring modern interviews with historians, lighthouse experts, and caretakers, historic images, and stunning footage.
Production of the lighthouse films begins in the spring of 2021.
Sponsorships for individual film episodes are available to businesses and individuals for Executive Producer credit, among other benefits.

Hudson River Towing Series
The Hudson River was once home to some of the biggest towing companies on the eastern seaboard and tugboats and barges can still be seen plying its waters today. Help us teach the public about the history and future of towing on the Hudson River.

Hudson River Sail Freight Series
Since the days of the Dutch, Hudson River sloops and other sailing vessels have plied the waters of the Hudson, which has unique challenges for sailors. Help us educate the public about sailing in general, what makes Hudson River sloops special, and the history and future of sail freight on the Hudson River.

Hudson River Shipbuilding Series
Shipbuilding on the Hudson River has a long and storied history. From the earliest wooden shipbuilding to wartime shipbuilding to modern shipbuilding, the Hudson River remains an important industry. Help us tell this important story to the general public.
