ERIE \u2014 Following the completion of a year-long restoration and refit in Maine, the U.S. Brig Niagara is scheduled to return to the Erie Maritime Museum by July 2 as part of Pennsylvania\u2019s America 250 celebrations.<\/p>\n
At daybreak on Saturday, the Commonwealth\u2019s flagship cast off her lines at Bristol Marine\u2019s Sample\u2019s Shipyard, marking the successful completion of her year-long, $6.9-million restoration and refit to ensure the Niagara is structurally sound and fit to sail for decades to come.<\/p>\n
