Golden Rule boat makes stop in Blaine

The Golden Rule boat docked in Blaine Harbor in late August during a tour to promote a nuclear-free world.

Veterans for Peace restored the Golden Rule, the first environmental peace ship that set sail in 1958 with the intent to stop nuclear weapons testing in the Marshall Islands. The boat is currently sailing through Washington state and B.C. with stops including Victoria, B.C., Vancouver, B.C. and Seattle.

In September 2022, it launched an 11,000 mile Great Loop voyage to promote the prohibition of nuclear weapons.
