The Seneca Chief is set to dock at the Cornwall Yacht Club in Cornwall-on-Hudson on Thursday, October 23, 2025.
“When the Seneca Chief reaches a port, the public can experience free, family-friendly activities that bring canal history to life. While docked, the vessel becomes a floating museum that allows you to step aboard to explore recreated cabins, view historical artifacts, and engage with interactive exhibits that illuminate the canal’s cultural, economic, and environmental significance - including the contributions of Indigenous communities. On shore, the Buffalo Maritime Center will host special events, educational programs, and hands-on wooden boatbuilding activities for all ages.”
The Buffalo Maritime Center’s Erie Canal Boat Seneca Chief departed Buffalo, NY on September 24th, embarking on a statewide Bicentennial Voyage that invites the public to commemorate the Erie Canal’s enduring legacy.
