The tall-masted sailing ship Niagara is visiting Duluth this weekend. During the War of 1812, the original Niagara helped defeat the British in the Battle of Lake Erie. Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry made his famous remark - "We have met the enemy and they are ours" from the deck of this ship. The original Niagara was built in Erie, Pennsylvania. The replica is part of a living museum collection, and it's on a tour around the Great Lakes. Mainstreet Radio's Stephanie Hemphill reports.
