The historic peace boat, Golden Rule, will dock in Toledo from August 10 – 13. In 1958, anti-nuclear weapons activists set sail aboard the Golden Rule planning to physically obstruct massive open-air U.S. nuclear weapons tests in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. After the Veterans for Peace restored the boat, The Golden Rule now sails for a nuclear-free world and a peaceful, sustainable future.
