The U.S. Brig Niagara is getting ready to depart to Cleveland for repairs and maintenance.

The Niagara is expected to be in Cleveland for two weeks, where it will be stored in a dry dock facility.

Crews will then remove and replace the ship's propellers. The ship will also be pressure washed, touched up with paint, along with additional repairs.

Once that work is completed, the Niagara will return to Erie for the winter.
