In 1958, four Quaker peace activists sailed the Golden Rule Sailing Boat toward the Marshall Islands of the South Pacific. It was an attempt to halt nuclear weapons testing. The U.S. Coast Guard intervened in Hawaii by boarding the 36-foot-boat and arresting the crew. They were jailed, causing an international outcry. The Golden Rule is a project of Veterans For Peace, in opposition of nuclear weapons and war.
Veterans For Peace named this boat, the Golden Rule from the teachings of Jesus. It can also be found to be a philosophy of 13 other faiths around this Good Earth. The crew of the Golden Rule Sailing Boat, 76-years-ago, attempted to make a statement against nuclear testing. This action assisted the public to greater awareness of the dangers of radiation, leading to worldwide demands to stop nuclear testing. In 1963, President Kennedy signed the Limited-Nuclear-Test-Ban-Treaty with Russia and the United Kingdom.
Mike Stern, song writer, composer and singer, performs his song, “Phoenix and the Golden Rule,” to the scenes of the Golden Rule as it sailed on its West Coast Tour of September 2024. “Brethren Voices” also received permission from Veterans For Peace, to share the documentary, “Making Waves: The Rebirth of the Golden Rule.” With a history of 76 years, the Golden Rule continues its mission of working for a peaceful world.
