Support RiverWise Educational Films
Sponsorships are also available for the educational programs that are part of the RiverWise endeavor. The following topics will be covered on the North Hudson Voyage. This virtual education initiative relies heavily on short documentary films. These films will be posted by the Hudson River Maritime Museum and can be used for years into the future, including in classrooms.
Hudson River Lighthouses Series
$500-$5,000 Seven Hudson River Lighthouses remain on the water, and we would like to help the public learn about all of them and their importance to Hudson River transportation and trade, plus the history of the "lost" lighthouses and the lives of lighthouse keepers. This leg of the trip will focus on the North River lighthouses.

Hudson River Sail Freight Series
$500-$5,000 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 Towing Series
$500-$5,000 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 Shipbuilding Series
$500-$5,000 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.
