While fishing for bluegill last evening on the South Pier, I had the pleasure of watching a magnificent vessel. The Flagship Niagara went through the channel. It is the Flagship Of Pennsylvania and the warship that won the Battle Of Lake Erie in the War of 1812. She first set sail in 1990, a reconstruction of Oliver Hazard Perry's victorious 1813 warship. It is owned and maintained by Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. We are lucky to have this wonderful piece of history in our hometown of Erie PA.
