Tall Ship Niagara Salmonella Outbreak
Twenty-six crew members of the U.S. Flagship Niagara were victims of a Salmonella outbreak while the ship was in Cleveland.
The Erie Times-News reported the Niagara Salmonella outbreak, saying it affected 26 of 42 crew members. The newspaper reported that most of the crew members were feeling well enough to depart the Tall Ship's home port of Erie, Pennsylvania, for a Great Lakes tour to Duluth, Minnesota, with stops in Green Bay, Wisconsin; and Chicago.
The source of the information was Bill Sutton, executive director of the Flagship Niagara League, the ship's fundraising arm. The story didn't say which health agency confirmed the Salmonella outbreak or whether anyone was hospitalized.
"Everybody's pretty much back to par,'' Sutton said.
