This mural shines a light on the mission of the Hudson River Maritime Museum and focuses on the role the Rondout continues to play in Kingston’s history and culture. Local artist Matthew Pleva has depicted the Rondout Lighthouse (maritime history of the Hudson River), sloop Clearwater (environmental conservation), the Draken Harald Harfagre (traditional boatbuilding techniques) and fishermen to encompass the role the river has played in the life of the city and its residents.
