On Thursday, July 14th, join us for the Buffalo Maritime Center’s Summer Speaker Series featuring Ron Endle, President of the Fireboat Edward M. Cotter Conservancy. Learn about the history of Buffalo’s Edward M. Cotter, the world’s oldest active fireboat since 1900. Ron will also talk about the city’s first two locally made (and less known) fireboats, the George R. Potter and the John M. Hutchinson.
The BMC Speaker Series will take place on Thursdays at the Honda Tent at Canalside (on the Replica Canal across from Explore & More). This event has a $10 entrance fee per person or $5 for BMC Members. Doors will open at 5PM and there will be a cash bar before and after the event. Be sure to get there early to get a great seat!
The upcoming BMC Speaker Series Event at Canalside will take place on July 28th with Mike Vogel as he talks about the Western Terminus of the Erie Canal, also known as “the very nostrils of hell.” For questions, please email us at info@buffalomaritimecenter.org.
The Buffalo Maritime Center’s mission is to provide everyone the opportunity
to experience the joy of being on the water, to learn maritime history,
and to achieve higher levels of craftsmanship.
