James “Jim” Twohig, who lives in Sun City Summerlin in Las Vegas, has built a fabulous model of the U.S. “Brig” Niagara. It’s the first model ship he’s built and completed in his life. This is a famous ship in U.S. history. It was the flagship of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry in the famous battle of Lake Erie, in the War of 1812. The model will be shipped and displayed at the U.S. Naval Academy Museum. (Renee Summerour/Las Vegas Review-Journal)
