Table of Contents
The Coast Guard has created a temporary safety zone around the historic tall ship SSV Niagara in Presque Isle Bay, Erie, Pennsylvania. The zone covers all navigable waters within 100 yards of the vessel on July 2, 2026.
Why it matters: This is a standard maritime safety measure triggered by a scheduled public event. It ensures that the historic vessel and its parade can move through congested waters without collision risk, rather than reflecting any new long-term policy change.
Who it affects
- Boat operators in Presque Isle Bay on July 2, 2026, between noon and 2 p.m.
This rule was issued by the U.S. Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security; check the original Federal Register document for full legal text and contact information.
