Help shipping return to Hoboken, sustainably!
FBW | May 7, 2025
The Schooner Apollonia, a restored 1946 merchant sailing vessel utilizing winds and the tides, ensures zero-emission deliveries of a variety of shelf-stable goods. Since its maiden voyage in May of 2020, the Apollonia has kept a full manifest through 11 Hudson River round trips and more than a dozen stops between Troy and Brooklyn, in its steel-sided, 10-ton cargo hold.
Thanks to your past support, Hoboken is one of the ports for the Schooner Apollonia. Order your June Boat Box today to support Apollonia’s mission and receive a sampling of the goods sustainably shipped from the greater Hudson Valley area. The first Boat Boxes will be delivered in June.
On October 15, 2023, the Apollonia docked for the first time in Hoboken, New Jersey at the Shipyard Marina. Hoboken became a regular port for the 2024 sail freight season. With your Boat Box order this season, the Apollonia can continue regular stops in Hoboken in the coming months.
The crew of the Apollonia received FBW’s Annual Riparian Award during our 2023 Connect the Waterfront Event on November 9 at the Hoboken Elks Club.
