Sail on the Onrust from June 20 through October 25, 2020
The Connecticut River Museum hosts the Onrust, a re-creation of the vessel Adriaen Block built in 1614. Now in its fourth year on our docks, Onrust is available for public cruises and private charters through October 25.
Built over several years in upstate New York using traditional plans and means, the Onrust is a wholly unique ship that serves to educate and entertain visitors curious about the age of exploration, the fur trade, and our early colonial history.
River cruises are offered Thursdays through Mondays. While at dock, the Onrust is available for exploration. (based on staff availability)
River Cruises – Private Charters – Bring a Picnic!
Onrust is a 53′ gaff rigged and auxiliary engine powered replica of Adriaen Block’s vessel, one of the first western style ships built in the new world. And the first ever to sail up the Connecticut River.
Join us for a sail or for a private charter. Picnics are encouraged!
