I did go over on three different days to take photos between Hudson and Albany, which is a one hour drive one way for me.


In June there was a week long quadricentennial celebration of Henry Hudson's voyage up the Hudson River 400 years ago. Leading and bringing up the rear were two Coast Guard boats.


The replica of the Half Moon was another one of the boats.


The fire boat Harvey that was brought out of retirement and used again during 9/11 was in the parade.


Pete Seeger's boat Clearwater that has been going up and down the Hudson River for decades educating each new generation about the importance of keeping the river clean. He just celebrated his 90 TH birthday last month!


Onrust is also one of Henry Hudson's boats that was just built and launched in May 2009.
