Historic Interpreters

“The Ship's Company - Flagship Niagara” is a Volunteer Historical Living History Unit portraying sailors, soldiers and civilians of the War of 1812 period. The unit provides historical programming, including naval gun drills and sail handling demonstrations, at the Erie Maritime Museum. In addition, they travel to various War of 1812 Historic Sites in the US and Canada each year to participate in battle reenactments and living history programs. Members of the unit are responsible for purchasing or producing and maintaining the necessary clothing, uniforms and equipment for themselves. Members are also encouraged to do their own research into the period of the War of 1812 and in the development of their personal interpretation of the era, whether it is that of a soldier, sailor, or civilian.
