The McClure is a replica 1862 canal schooner and also a floating museum. This summer, it will be visiting Vermont (home base), New York, Ontario and Quebec commemorating the War of 1812.
It is regularly berthed at Perkins Pier in Burlington, Vermont, by Lake Champlain.
Ships like the McClure could sail under their own power ot be towed along canals and carried lumber, coal, stone and agricultural products.
