U.S.S.Niagara War of 1812 Anactual piece of the historic War of 1812 U.S.S. Niagara! The original U.S.S. Niagara, also known as the U.S. BrigNiagara, was constructed in 1812-13 at Presque Isle, Erie, Pennsylvania. Shewas built to help protect the American shoreline against a British invasionduring the War of 1812. Black oak logs were used in construction of the keel.Its 110 ft. length accommodated 18 x32 pound cannonades and 2 x12 pound longguns. Oliver Hazard Perry assumed command of the Lake Erie fleetin 1813. On Sept. 10th the Battle of Lake Erie was underway againstthe British fleet. After several hours, Perry’s ship, the Lawrence, was out ofcommission and Perry lowered his battle flag with the now famous words – “Don’tGive Up The Ship” and boarded the Niagara as his new flagship. She opened fireand fought valiantly until the British fleet surrendered. The War of 1812 ended with the Treaty of Ghent and the Niagara served as a receiving ship until1820 when she was sunk at Presque Isle for preservation. In 1913, thecentennial of the battle, she was raised and reconstructed. Much of theoriginal wood was not used in the rebuilding and was sold as souvenirs at thetime. Eventually, ownership of the Niagara was transferred to the PennsylvaniaHistorical Commission. She now serves proudly as a museum ship and is one ofonly 2 remaining ships from the War of 1812.
