USS Niagara, Museum ship in Erie, United States

The USS Niagara stands as a wooden-hulled snow-brig measuring 198 feet long, featuring two full decks and carrying 20 carronades on the main deck.

The original USS Niagara was constructed in 1813 during the War of 1812 and served as a relief flagship for Oliver Hazard Perry in the Battle of Lake Erie.

The vessel maintains Pennsylvania's maritime traditions through sailing programs, educational tours, and training sessions that teach historical navigation methods to modern sailors.

The Erie Maritime Museum welcomes visitors to explore the USS Niagara from May through October, with guided tours available during regular museum operating hours.

The current USS Niagara includes only minimal parts from the original 1813 vessel, as it underwent complete reconstruction in 1988 using modern materials and techniques.
