Successful launch of new boats On Saturday June 2nd, at the Rutgers boathouse a large crowd of enthusiastic supporters greeted the launch into the Cooper River of a small fleet of wooden canoes and strip built kayaks. These beautiful boats were built at the museum at Urban BoatWorks, Directed by Jesus Castro. The children who built these boats paddled for hours near the boathouse before embarking on a trek down the Cooper River to the Delaware River. Congratulations to the many boatbuilders and volunteers who make this exciting and unique program such a success year after year!
