> The brave and historic vessel - the *Golden Rule -* is tied up at slip B-22
> on the south side of Noyo Harbor until 3:00 PM tomorrow.  The captain, four
> person crew, Vets for Peace organizers welcome visitors to come down and
> check out the boat and swap stories about the famous 30-foot ketch and it's
> nearly sixty-year mission to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear
> weapons from the world.

> "In 1958 four Quaker activists attempted to sail the Golden Rule into the
> seas around the Marshall Islands, in order to halt U.S. nuclear atmospheric
> testing.  They were stopped and arrested in Hawaii and spent time in jail,
> but news of their quest went around the world, inspiring others to act.
> The 1958 voyage of the Golden Rule is credited with helping to achieve the
> Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963, which banned nuclear testing in
> the air, underwater and outer space."  (

> "Five years ago, the famous 30-foot ketch was pulled from the bottom of
> Humboldt Bay and almost destroyed.  Members of Veterans for Peace learned
> of its history and launched a campaign to restore the Golden Rule.  Scores
> of volunteers and hundreds of donors made it possible.  The Golden Rule is
> once again sailing for a nuclear free world."

> The Golden Rule is on the last leg of her maiden voyage, heading back home
> to Eureka from San Diego, fresh from "Fleet Week" with the US Navy in San
> Francisco.  Come down to show your support, hear some great stories, and
> experience a little Pacific Ocean history here in Noyo Harbor.  Or just
> shoot the breeze about sailing.  Look for a large white peace sign on a big
> red sail, dock B-22.
