Tall Ship - US Brig Niagara on Lake Erie 2022 @ Erie, PA

            Niagara was constructed from 1812 to 1813 to protect the vulnerable American coastline on Lake Erie from the British and played a pivotal role in the battle for the lake. Along with most warships that served in the war, Niagara was sunk for preservation on Presque Isle in 1820. Raised in 1913, it was rebuilt for the centennial of the Battle of Lake Erie. After deteriorating, the restoration of Niagara was started again in the 1930s, but was hampered by the lack of funds caused by the Great Depression and remained uncompleted until 1963. A more extensive restoration was carried out in 1988 in which much of the original ship was largely destroyed. The incorporation of new materials and modern equipment makes it ambiguous as to whether it is or is not a replica. (Wikipedia)

The Niagara is the third reconstruction of the original. This two-masted square-rigged sailing vessel was launched in 1988 for the 175th anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie. (Erie Maritime Museum)

The ship was moved to New England in 2025 for an extensive refit which would return the vessel to full operational status. The ship arrived in Boothbay Harbor, Maine in June 2025 for retrofit, with the stated goal to return the vessel to Erie by July 2026 to celebrate the United States Semiquincentennial.  (Wikipedia)
