VETERANS FOR PEACE GOLDEN RULE SAILING INTO PORT JEFFERSON HARBOR, MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND What’s the Golden Rule? The Golden Rule was a small wooden sailboat that became an important symbol of the anti-war resistance movement in the United States during the 1950s and 60s. The ship gained national recognition in 1958 when a group of pacifists, led by the Quaker activist Albert Bigelow, William Huntington and others attempted to sail it into the Pacific Proving Grounds, a nuclear testing site in the Marshall Islands. The group was arrested and the ship was impounded by the U.S. Coast Guard. Despite this setback, the Golden Rule inspired a wave of anti-nuclear protests and helped to galvanize the anti-war movement in the United States.
