This is one of the coolest stories I have found in all my years of searching for stories to post on PA. There is a small cargo sailing project underway on the Hudson river that delivers goods from farmers upriver downstream to farmers markets and ports along the river to New York. The cargo is delivered on a custom built sailing barge called Ceres. I couldn't begin to describe this project accurately in the short amount of time I have to write this article, so I will let the people involved do it in their own words. I ran across this Youtube video posted a little over a year ago.
There is a much better article written up over at CivilEats.com that does a much better job of explaining what is going on. They also have a video posted that was done by the New Yorker Magazine. You can read that article, and I highly recommend you do, HERE! This is one fantastic project that I really hope catches on worldwide! You can read much more about the project, the barge design and much more over at their Wordpress blog page HERE!
