Official Postcrossing Postcard US-676280

US-676280.1

Beautiful historical postcard of the Flagship Niagara. Thanks, Pam!

"A remnant of  Erie's greatest historical moment, the War of 1812, the Flagship Niagara calls Erie, PA it's home. Oliver Hazard Perry, the ship's first commander, forced the British squadron to surrender. Perry's battle flag slogan: "Don't Give Up The Ship" remains a citywide motto."
