LAKES AND RIVERS The trustees of the Thousand Islands Shipyard Museum have established a Museum Boatbuilding School associated with the Jefferson Community College Marine Trades program. Classes in marina management, repairs, small engines, model building and restoration were offered during the fall semester . The program, open to the public, hopes to expand its classes to boatbuilding and handling, navigation, welding and Thousand Islands history. According to Jeremy Taylor, curator and education director, a matching grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation for a small boatbuilding course will be used to start building a replica of a St. Lawrence Bateau, a flat-bottom double-ended workboat, used by European explorers on the River. Museum, 750 Mary St., Clayton NY 13624. Ferry Sloop member Thomas Mauriello reports ... The 32 ' epoxy-coated ferrocement sloop Sojourner Truth, launched last August, is expected to be sailing the Hudson River this spring. Presently docked at Hastings-onHudson, Sojourner's program like those of the environmental flagship Clearwater, will help create an awareness of the environmental and public-access issues on the Hudson and Long Island Sound. They will also teach people in waterfront communities how to sail. A mast-sized pole has been promised as a donation by Con Edison . Volunteer hands are welcome for weekend work. Sojourner's sister ship, nicknamed "Willit" (as in "Will it float?"), is in the final stages of hull completion in New Hamburg, New York . The Indiana-based Lake Michigan Federation Ferry Sloop Project plans to put ' 1 Willit" to work on similar projects of education and organization on the Great Lakes. (See SH 20:42.) ... Clearwater is again docked at Lynch's Marine in Saugerties for the winter. Volunteers welcome to help with maintenance. Call (914) 246-8290 and let it ring!
