The Erie Canal Boat Seneca Chief is delayed! Scheduled viewing hours will be Monday only from 4 to 7PM.

An update as of 6/6 at 2:40pm from Buffalo Maritime Center:
Last night, they were notified by the NYS Canal Corporation that the Waterford Flight of Locks is closed due to a mechanical issue and will remain closed until further notice. This unexpected delay has required us to adjust the Back to Buffalo Voyage itinerary.

At this time, we are unable to make our planned stops in Schenectady on 6/6 and Amsterdam on 6/7. They will proceed directly to Amsterdam for their previously planned day at that port on 6/8 once the Waterford Flight reopens.

We appreciate your patience and support, and will continue to share updates as they become available. Once we’re underway, their itinerary will remain the same, and we look forward to being underway soon!
