Visitors to Niagara Falls this year will get to see the sights while being environmentally friendly. The Maid of the Mist tour company is switching to all-electric and zero-emission vessels by September. The two new catamarans will be the first all-electric passenger boats in the country.
“The Maid of the Mist has offered tours of the world-famous Niagara Falls waterfalls and of the Niagara River Gorge for more than a century, and are a signature tourism attraction of Western New York,” says New York Gov. Cuomo. “The new zero-emission boats will continue that proud tradition while continuing our efforts to make New York State a premier environmentally friendly tourism destination.”
The boats are currently being constructed by Burger Boat Co. in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
