Tall Ships At Canalside This Weekend For The Buffalo Maritime Festival!

The Maritime Festival starts today (Friday) and runs all weekend at Canalside but the festivities kicked off yesterday with the arrival of the tall ships Lynx and Peacemaker!

Here is the Lynx announcing it's arrival to Canalside with the fire of a cannon!
