    Historic U.S.S. Niagara Figurehead: War of 1812 Symbol

    $19.95

    This glass negative captures the figurehead of the U.S.S. Niagara, a naval vessel that played a significant role during the War of 1812. Launched in 1813, the Niagara was a formidable ship for its time, serving in several key battles, including the pivotal Battle of Lake Erie. The figurehead, often elaborately carved, served not only as a decorative element but also as a symbol of the ships identity and its maritime heritage. The U.S.S. Niagara is known for her distinctive figurehead, which depicted a woman, representing the spirit of victory and seafaring adventure.

    Photographed by the Bain News Service, this image was created on May 24, 2002, as part of an ongoing effort to document and preserve important artifacts of American history. The glass negative format allows for remarkable detail, capturing the craftsmanship and artistry of the figurehead that has stood the test of time. By documenting this significant piece of naval architecture, we gain insight into the artistry of shipbuilding in the early 19th century and the importance of naval power in shaping the United States presence on the Great Lakes and beyond. The figurehead remains a testament to both the ship and the era it represents.
