U.S. Brig NIAGARA - The Ship's Log 
Hi. I have a page on historic sailing ships that features an archival photo from 1913 of the Niagra in Put-in-Bay. (I obtained that photo from Wikipedia.) But it doesn’t really do justice to the Niagra, because it’s in black and white.
I see you have a lot of photos on your main site. Would it be OK to add some of them to my page? Of course, I would be happy to give photo credits and a link to your site.
If it’s OK to use the photos, please send me an e-mail or leave a comment on my Tall Sailing Ships of Yesteryear page.
Thanks!
Carla
