Shantyboat at Waterford New York
Listen Now to the WAMC Public Radio story:
A recreated mid-century shanty boat is traveling down the Hudson River in search of stories.
“A Secret History of American River People” is a project by a California-based artist Wes Modes.
Modes took WAMC’s Southern Adirondack Bureau Chief Lucas Willard on a quick tour of the homemade houseboat as it was docked in the Saratoga County town of Waterford, New York.
