Stamped plaque beneath the bust reads, "Oliver H Perry", printed label affixed to back of shadowbox reads, "Naval Victory on Lake Erie / On September 10, 1813, Captain Oliver H. Perry defeated an inferior British fleet, despite the fact that he lost his flagship, the Lawrence." Oliver Hazard Perry, (1785-1819), was a U.S. Naval Officer who became a national Hero when he defeated a British squadron in the Battle of Lake Erie in the War of 1812
Oliver Hazard Perry, (born Aug. 20, 1785, South Kingston, R.I., U.S.-died Aug. 23, 1819, at sea), U.S. Naval Officer who became a national Hero when he defeated a British squadron in the Battle of Lake Erie in the War of 1812.
Appointed a midshipman at 14, Perry served in both the West Indies and the Mediterranean until February 1813, when he was sent to Erie, Pa., to complete the building of a U.S. squadron to challenge British control of the Great Lakes.
By early autumn he had assembled a fleet of 10 small vessels and was ready to engage the enemy. When the battle was joined on September 10, Perry's fleet was greatly superior in short-range firepower but only slightly superior at long range; a light wind prevented him from closing in quickly on the six British warships commanded by R.H. Barclay.
When Perry's flagship, the "Lawrence," was disabled, he transferred to the "Niagara," winning the battle within the next 15 minutes by sailing directly into the British line, firing broadside. In his official report of the British surrender he said, "We have met the enemy and they are ours."
