" Back in 2002 and 2004 at the NPS black power school I worked with Gerry Altoff from Perry's Victory National Memorial. He both times trucked down to the school the park's 32 pound naval carronade. This is a very big gun. Gerry always mentioned that along with the Brig Niagara they had done a live firing exercise against a mock up of a section of a British ship. It had been filmed to illustrate the terrible damage done during the naval battle on Lake Erie. He also had outakes from a film someone did. I had lost touch with Gerry after our retirements from the service. Recently I found this video on YouTube from the Brig Niagara 's site. Here is the day they did the live firing. It s a fascinating watch. I wish I could figure out how to do screen captured so I could post some pictures from it. Alas! I am technology challenged so will just post this link…."
