In the near future, I will introduce legislation to bring back the Flagship Niagara license plate.
 
The Flagship Niagara plate was available for only a little over a year, from late 1995 to early 1997. It was discontinued because it had significant legibility problems. With advancements in design and printing technology, we now have the opportunity to address these issues and reintroduce this plate with a new, improved design.
 
The Flagship Niagara holds great historical significance for Pennsylvania. As the relief flagship of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry during the Battle of Lake Erie in the War of 1812, it played a pivotal role in securing a critical American victory. This victory ensured American control of the Great Lakes and boosted national morale. The ship is a symbol of bravery, resilience, and the maritime heritage of Pennsylvania.
 
Reintroducing the Flagship Niagara license plate not only pays tribute to this important historical vessel but also promotes state pride and heritage. It offers Pennsylvanians a unique way to connect with our state’s rich history and honor the legacy of those who served aboard the Niagara.
 
Please join me in co-sponsoring this important piece of legislation to bring back the Flagship Niagara license plate.
