W Dan Hulchanski submitted photos for this post, as did Michael Bopp,  a member of the Canal Society of New York State and CSNY board, who worked for NYS Canal Corporation during early planning for the Canal Bicentennial.

Seneca Chief opened for visitors at the Troy, NY waterfront on Friday, October 17 and Saturday, October 18th. Here’s a view from the Green Island Bridge and others from

multiple other perspectives.

Inside Seneca Chief, displays of the Canal’s historical and cultural legacy include not only types of wood but also tools used to build the original Seneca Chief as well as the replica.

Many thanks to W Dan for photos, and to Michael for production.
