Brig Niagara

Ever been fishing the bay and admiring the Brig when she sailed by ?

I was today when they shot off one of their cannons, scared the bejesus out of me.

    This was from our perch trip on the Edward John a couple years ago. It was pretty cool to see.

    2 years ago I was fishing off of the south pier and watched her sail through the channel. I will never forget that moment.

    I was at the convention center last week when it fired its cannons. Shook the whole freakin place. We almost ran for cover.

    last friday she shot the cannons. it sounded like the worst thunder i ever hears, i was ready to pull the anchor and head in before i realized what it was. I never get tired of looking at that ship. everytime i see it i can't take my eyes off of it.
    I wonder what the range of those cannons were?

    im surprised you had time to look while you pulled in 783 smallmouth bass, 23 walleyes, and 37 trophy muskie in 3 hours.... 

    If the world needed and enema, they'd put the tube in Philadelphia. Go Pens!
