The mission of the Golden Rule Project of Veterans for Peace (VFP) is to repair, restore and renovate the famous sailing ketch, the Golden Rule. This little ship was sailed by four brave crewmen, led by Albert Bigelow, in an attempt to stop atmospheric nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands.  They were boarded by the US Coast Guard, arrested, and the boat towed back to Honolulu, twice. Eventually, the Golden Rule sank in Humboldt Bay.

Veterans For Peace, together with friends of the Golden Rule, will once again sail this vessel in opposition to militarism and the manufacture, testing, and use of nuclear weapons. Over a period of years, we plan for the Golden Rule to take its message of peace far and wide – on all three coasts, as well as the Great Lakes and inland waterways.

This Sunday, March 4, Veterans for Peace will celebrate the completion of the restoration efforts. Listen to Coastal Currents Wed. at noon on JHUM (104.3 and 104.7 FM) for an interview with Baykeeper Skipper Chuck DeWitt, who has been working to restore the Golden Rule.
