Brig Niagara

The replica of Oliver Hazard Perry's relief flagship, Niagara , at Erie, Pennsylvania, in 1991. "Relief" because Perry's original flagship, Lawrence , was rendered inoperable during the Battle of Lake Erie . The replica Niagara , which apparently incorporates some pieces of the original ship, was quite new at the time I took this photo. Shot this one by holding the camera up over a fairly tall fence, then pressing the shutter release. One of the neat things about the Chinon camera is that you've usually got an excellent idea where the thing is pointed, even when you can't look through the viewfinder.
