The Brig Niagara will not sail this year.
The Flagship Niagara league announced the cancellation of the sailing season Wednesday.
Social distancing requirements due to the pandemic made it impossible for the ship to sail with the large crew required.
The Flagship Niagara League says it lost $428,000 in revenue.
Officials said the organization will launch a “Don’t Give Up Your Ship” fundraising campaign starting today.
The Flagship Niagara League hopes to raise $165,000 to help fund the Niagara through April.
