In celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Erie Canal, the Wayne County Historical Society is sponsoring a special series ...

Boat rides and history lessons about the canal, once one of the nation's major commercial arteries, ended in 2003 when the old boat could not be repaired.

A tour boat capsized in an underground cave along the Erie Canal in upstate New York on Monday, leaving one person dead and sending nearly a dozen others to the hospital, officials said.

Georgetown C&O Canal Boat Tours' future is in jeopardy after the end of a philanthropic partnership between Georgetown Heritage and the National Park Service.

The canal boat underwent a $45,000 upgrade to repair holes in the concrete hull. The boat is back in the water and city officials hope to host more boat rides and special events.
