The Peace Boat
Where were you when the Peace Boat came?
How remarkable is a boat that voyages the world promoting peace?
I wouldn’t mind being on that boat.
Sadly, I hadn’t heard of the Peace Boat until it docked on our shores a couple of years ago.
When I first saw the boat, I thought it looked like a remnant from the sixties, but it isn’t…
Peace Boat is a Japan-based international non-governmental and non-profit organization that works to promote peace, human rights, equal and sustainable development and respect for the environment.
Peace Boat carries out its main activities through a chartered passenger ship that travels the world on peace voyages.
Speaking of remnants from the sixties… I watched The Boat That Rocked months ago on one of the Canadian premium movie channels – then it got re-released last month in theatres as Pirate Radio. Strange but immensely enjoyable movie, but I digress, I seriously want to sail away on the Peace Boat.
