Come learn about The Golden Rule, the 30 ft wooden ketch that tried to sail into the nuclear test zone in the Pacific to prevent atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in 1958. The Coast Guard intervened and arrested the crew, but their courage ignited a
movement that led to the nuclear test ban treaty. Now fully restored by Veterans for Peace, The Golden Rule is making waves again as it sails to Hawaii, Guam, Okinawa, Korea, and Japan with its message of a world free of nuclear weapons.

FREE! Please buy food & drink at the Pub. All ages welcome!
