HIST 508 - History Under Sail: The Flagship Niagara and the Great Lakes
Credits: 4
Liaison: Professor Binnington
An experiential learning internship on the maritime history of the Great Lakes. The Flagship Niagara is a replica of the square rigged sailing warship which fought at the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie. In a three week program, students experience life during the Age of Sail, gaining lessons in seamanship, history, and citizenship. Students acquire a deeper understanding of maritime history and seafaring culture through living similar challenges and conditions faced by seafarers of the past. This internship is offered in partnership with a consortium of local colleges and the Erie Maritime Museum. May be repeated for credit.
Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
Distribution Requirements: none.
