And the Brig Niagara

Since I caught the Santa Maria, I knew that I would catch the Niagara as she was following fairly closely behind.

 The Niagara has been on this page in the past.

 She is a replica/restoration of the original Niagara that fought in the Battle of Lake Erie and served as Oliver Hazard Perry's flagship.

 She is actually a snow brig which means that she is a two masted ship with square sails.  The word snow comes the old Dutch word "snauw" which means "beak".  They typically have a long nose to support the mizzen.

 She is a pretty nice looking ship.

 I love her profile.

 She continues out into Lake Huron.

If you look closely, you can see one of the other tall ships.
