Caroline will intersperse her current day journey with the fascinating history of Ossining illustrator Alfred Agate's groundbreaking South Pacific voyage through the same waters over 400 years ago.
On a chilly and dark November Friday night, who wouldn't enjoy traveling back in history and imagining balmy breezes, lapping waves and glorious sunsets? Please join us! This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. See you "at sea"!

A Century
of Service
In the past century and the next one,
we are committed to continuing our
role on the waterfront, volunteering
to provide everyone in the Ossining
community with affordable access
to the Hudson River, at no cost to
taxpayers.
What does "affordable access" mean?
Because we are an all-volunteer, self-run organization, we keep our rates low. That means anyone, regardless of income, can enjoy the river.
It's not about money, it's about community.
The Hudson River, one of our country's great natural resources
Whether doing educational outreach with Ossining High School, community events, open houses, or just plain having fun on the water, "affordable access" means anyone can enjoy the Hudson River regardless of income level
Unique
Ossining is very lucky to have Engel Park on the waterfront. The Ossining Boat and Canoe Club is a unique enhancement that has been treasured for over a century, and will continue to draw people to Ossining. It gives Ossining a sense of place.
Getting things done
Working and learning together, we have been able to accomplish great things for the good of the Ossining community.
