Major Activities

Activity 2

In coooperation with the phmc, the league supports the erie maritime museum's programs as well as the flagship niagara's sailing programs. The erie maritime museum's programs are designed to educate the public about the flagship niagara and the war of 1812 as well as additional aspects of erie's maritime history. These programs include regular visitation by the general public; guided tours through the museum and ship when in port; programs such as lectures, muscial events and other special events; specific educational programs tailored to individual student and tour group needs: and educational presentations at local schools. The flagship niagara's sailing programs are designed to educate the public about sailing in an 1812 era warship, provide additional educational opportunities related to physical science, history and the arts and educate visitors about erie and pennsylvania's tourism opportunities. Niagara's "live aboard" program is designed to give participants hands-0n instruction in the operation and sailing of a two masted early 1800's warship and the experience is often utilized by its students to secure seasonal or permanent jobs upon similar sailing vessels. The niagara's high school and college consortium programs provide an immense opportunity for students to study not only sailing, but also physical science, history and arts topics-often for college credits. The niagara's "day sail" program (available to the general public as well as school groups) is designed to educate participants on square rigged sailing techniques as well as niagara's role in the battle of lake erie and the war of 1812. Niagara's port visitation schedule allows the opportunity for the niagara crew to educate visitors on the niagara's role in the battle of lake erie, the war of 1812 and to promote erie and pennsylvania as tourist destinations.
