Perry’s Victory and Memorials Across Lake Erie
In Sandusky residents awaited news of Perry’s victory as British ports on Lake Erie fell to American forces. The triumph inspired national pride, Congress honored Oliver Hazard Perry with a gold medal, and he rose to captain before dying of yellow fever in Port of Spain. His body was returned to Newport in 1826, where a granite shaft marks his grave. A Put-in-Bay monument, dedicated in 1931, commemorates the victory and lasting peace with Britain. The brig Niagara is a restored floating museum, and Perry’s Wakefield homestead is now a patriotic site.
