We got an early start this morning, and we made it through the next four locks on the Oswego Canal before nine. We couldn't have asked for a better day to cross Lake Ontario to Sackets Harbor. We visited Sacker Harbor by car in 2012, but it was a lot better coming in by boat.
Coming into Sackets Harbor
We had a little afternoon refreshments at Sackets Harbor Brewing Co.
We spent the afternoon wandering around town and had dinner at Goodfellos.
We had the Jeremiah pizza - Garlic base, mozzarella, provolone, oven roasted chicken, caramelized onions, caramelized cranberries, walnuts, bacon and feta topped with paprika aioli. It was amazing!
Sackets Harbor is a quaint community with a unique and important history. It is sheltered by Black River Bay and overlooks the beautiful Lake Ontario. The historic village was the United States’ most important shipbuilding center during the War of 1812. The headquarters for the U.S. Navy on the Great Lakes, it was home to thousands of shipwrights, carpenters, sailors, and soldiers gathered to construct, sail, and defend the fleet. During the War of 1812, one third of the United States Army, and a quarter of its Navy, were stationed at Sackets Harbor.
Sackets Harbor’s importance as a shipbuilding and military center continued well into the nineteenth century, leaving an abundance of interesting historically restored architecture. Today Sackets Harbor offers something unique for everyone from history buffs to sportsmen, and is proudly one of The New York State Heritage Areas.
We are docked at Navy Point Marine
It has a wonderful view of the lake
Just a few sights from town
The Union Hotel built in 1817, now houses the Seaway Trail Discovery Center
I think we'll have breakfast here tomorrow.
