An annual fixture at the Roundup has been this replica of
the first-ever cargo ship built in New York State, the 1614
Onrust. This year, the vessel has spent more time downstate in
collaborative efforts with the Hudson River Maritime Museum,
the Connecticut River Museum, Marist College, and later this
fall, the Bronck Museum/Greene County Historical Society,
Crailo State Historic Site and Albany County Visitor Center.
Could this boat change history? Solar Sal made its historic
journey in late 2015, and retired RPI professor David
Borton (left) continues to work towards a new fleet of
commercially-viable solar electric boats on area waterways.
He is planning to show off his latest creations at the World
Canals Conference in Syracuse from September 24-28.
