Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/US Brig Niagara
- Reason
- large, relatively clear image; pretty sure that this is one of few photographs (maybe the only) of the original Niagara.
- Proposed caption
- The original US Brig Niagara raised for the centennial of the Battle of Lake Erie. The Brig Niagara played a pivotal role in defeating the British at the Battle of Lake Erie when Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry transferred from the US Brig Lawrence. It was sunk in 1820 for preservation.
