Celebrating a US Port City: Buffalo and its Niagara River Connections
Now in its fourth year, the PortCities project shares student research from Brock University's HIST 2F00 Great Lakes Maritime and Coastal History. Students previously explored Toronto, Hamilton and the Niagara Region's port and maritime history, examining the wide-ranging themes that connect our waterways and shape coastal urban development.
