The Buffalo Maritime Center will discuss its community boatbuilding project to recreate the Erie Canal Boat Seneca Chief and the role of the original boat in opening the Erie Canal in 1825. It will also detail what visitors can expect when the canal boat travels from Buffalo to New York City to commemorate the Erie Canal Bicentennial.
