All things Niagara Falls tourism…
I’ve installed a new gallery for AccessNiagara.com. I’m using 4images and have uploaded over 200 images already. Check it out the Niagara Falls Image Gallery

I don’t know how long it has been around for, but Yahoo! has a section of their site that allows you to look up “dozens of sites for cheap airfaires, hotels, and rental cars.”
I just found Yahoo! Farechase today, and I tested it out by searching for hotel rates in Niagara Falls. The results page shows you a map of the area and the location of the hotels it has found. As it searches you can see the various sites it is searching (travel sites, specific franchise sites, etc.). I don’t know how this compares to other travel sites, but it looks like it would be worth a look when you want to go out of town.

The Maid of the Mist was a 21.67-metre-long steamer that carried hundreds of thousands of travellers to Niagara Falls.
This Friday, Aprill 22, marks the 50th anniversary of a fire that destroyed the popular passenger ships MAID OF THE MIST and MAID OF THE MIST NO. 2. The former was the oldest of the duo and had been built in 1885. The 21.67-metre-long steamer carried hundreds of thousands of travelers to the base of the Niagara cataract for a close-up look view of the thundering waters. The two ships were ashore at winter quarters when the blaze destroyed their wooden superstructures. The remains were scrapped and new vessels were built to continue the popular tradition.
Various books by Skip Gillham, including his new Canadian Liberties On The Lakes, are available at the St. Catharines Museum at Lock 3.
