Last week, twenty six of forty two crew members on the Brig Niagara were sickened by salmonella,  forcing the ship to cut short a visit to a tall ships festival in Cleveland.   Fortunately, the crew is reported to have recovered, and the Niagara set sail again Monday for Duluth, Minn.   The Niagara is a replica of the ship that Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry used to defeat the British at the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812.
