History Paddle: The Phoenix and The Rose
About this Event
History Paddle: The Phoenix and The Rose
The Maurice D. Hinchey Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area, Yonkers Paddling & Rowing Club, and Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site invite you to explore a dramatic chapter of Revolutionary War history—while kayaking on the very waters where it unfolded.
On this guided paddling adventure led by instructors from the Yonkers Paddling & Rowing Club, an educator from Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site will bring to life the story of Phoenix and Rose, two British warships that occupied the Hudson River near Yonkers during the summer of 1776. Participants will learn about the vessels’ strategic role in the war and the daring Patriot attack launched in an attempt to destroy them.
Equipment, snacks, and water will be provided.
Space is limited, available on a first-come, first-serve basis. All registered paddlers must sign a waiver in advance to participate.
