How the American Constitution pulls out of the Rondout Creek

Inquiring minds want to know!

It is 269 feet long!  One of the longest cruise boats to go up the Hudson River.   It docks at the Hudson River Maritime Museum where the creek is about 290 feet wide.

So it back down to an area just east of the museum where the creek is over 500 feet wide.

And that is where it turns itself around to head out to the River.  Watch it here:
