Step 5: About us

The “Delaware River Steamboat Floating Classroom” is the realization of the dream of a stunningly remarkable man, Bart Hoebel.

 Renowned psychologist Bart Hoebel, who studied addiction behavior, dies…

“Outside of the lab, Princeton University Professor Hoebel was described by colleagues as a “renaissance man” whose generosity and sense of adventure included hobbies such as hot air ballooning, Christmas tree farming and building a steam calliope into an antique fire truck to drive in parades. He also ran a nonprofit organization, the Delaware River Steamboat Floating Classroom, where students and groups experience interactive ecology lessons on board a replica of an 1880 sternwheeler on the Delaware River.”
