"Sail freight comes to the 21st century! The "Schooner Apollonia" delivers along the Hudson River sans fossil fuels, powered only by he wind and sun."

What started as one man's quixotic dream has turned to reality. For the past three years, the 65-foot Schooner Apollonia has been delivering goods up and down the Hudson River by sail sans fossils fuels - a throwback to a day when there were 1200 such boats on the river each day. It turns out buyers prefer the non-polluting, anti-Amazon way of making deliveries.
