I stand corrected Maddie. My further reading confirms what you said - this boat did indeed sail on both Erie and Ontario. It was built on the shores of Erie, sailed for a time in that lake, and was transported overland on rollers to Ontario, a story that in itself is fascinating!

The author stated that this boat sailed both lakes Ontario and Erie. Highly unlikely, since there’s that pesky Niagara Falls in the way, and the Welland Canal didn’t exist back then.
