Buffalo, NY has an area called Canal side which includes a ship museum, military park, boat tours, Erie Canal history and walking/biking/jogging paths. We checked it out.

| Detailed map of the Erie Canal with lots of interesting info |
 |
| Lots of wooden boats |
The Naval and Military Park is the highlight of the area. There are a submarine, destroyer and cruiser all on display and ready for you to explore.
 |
| This is the 5" gun on the Fletcher class destroyer. Notice the barrel is slightly off center. Model builders often miss this. |
 |
| Information center where all objects are tracked |
 |
| Enjoying the day |
 |
| This is the only Fletcher class museum ship that allows access to the engine room |
 |
| Imagine driving your aircraft onto this float so it could be towed and then lifted from the water back onto the ship! |
 |
| Ships of all types were on display in the Cruiser "Little Rock" |
