CLEVELAND
A popular Lake Erie tourist attraction has run into some rough waters in Cleveland.

Cruises on the Nautica Queen have been canceled indefinitely. The ship is awaiting repairs to fix damage from an accident July 20, when the boat struck a dock.

The cancellation comes amid the busy midsummer season for dinner cruises and special events. About 50,000 people each year board the Nautica Queen for cruises up the Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) River and into Lake Erie.

The owner hopes to have the ship back in operation by Labor Day.
