The Niagara |
My current adventure has transported me off the shoreline and out onto the ISLANDS within our Great Lakes.
This Labor Day, I traveled to South Bass Island's Put-in-Bay to take part in the bicentennial reenactment of the Battle of Lake Erie. This naval engagement between the Americans and British was a turning point in the War of 1812.
Sixteen tall ships gathered in Lake Erie for this event which was the largest reenactment of a naval battle in American history.
