1188-COMMODORE PERRY'S FLAGSHIP "NIAGARA"-At Perry's Lookout, the "Needle's Eye," Put-in-Bay, Lake Erie. Commodore Perry's second flagship in the famous Battle of Put-in-Bay, Sept. 10th, 1813. After the peace of 1815 she was dismantled, and in 1825 sunk at her moorings at Erie, Pa. In March, 1913, she was raised, completely refitted, and taken on a triumphal tour of the Great Lakes during the summer of 1913. The picture, drawn on the spot, shows her at anchor in the very anchorage where she "put in" among the Bass Islands, a hundred years before, after the great Battle of Lake Erie, usually called the Battle of Put-in-Bay.
