The St Helena II is a canal boat that was built by the Stark County Historical Society. It was first dedicated on July 11th, 1970.
The boat was among the first canal boat reproductions created on the Ohio & Erie Canal. The plans for the boat were based on a scale model W.J. McLaughlin, who worked at McLaughlin Drydock repairing canal boats over the years. The St Helena was one of the boats he remembered well - so well that he created a model of the boat in 1933 based on his memory of the boat. This model was used by C.M. Gantz to design the St Helena II.
