EC200 Speaker Series: Captain Art Cohn

The EC200 Speaker Series welcomes Captain Art Cohn to the Buffalo Naval & Military Park on Thursday, June 12th!

From 2000 to 2018, maritime historian Art Cohn served as Director of the Lois McClure Project, overseeing the travels of this replica canal schooner on a journey spanning over 10,000 miles and welcoming more than 300,000 visitors across 300 communities in the U.S. and Canada. Art will share stories from these voyages and explore how replica boats like the Lois McClure can uniquely connect people to maritime history.

As the Lois McClure prepares to join the Canal Society of New York at the Old Erie Canal Heritage Park in Port Byron, the Buffalo Maritime Center embarks on its own journey with the Erie Canal Boat Seneca Chief, continuing the tradition of bringing canal history to life for communities across New York State.

This event is presented by the Buffalo Maritime Center and will take place outside the Hangar Building near the Commercial Slip.
