Lithograph entitled and captioned: "Perry's victory on Lake Erie, September 10, 1813. This plate represents the position of the two fleets when the 'Niagara' is pushing through the enemy's line (center) pouring her thunder upon them from both broadsides forcing them to surrender in succession to the American Flag. Commodore Perry having a short time before left the 'Lawrence' (far left) in a small boat amidst a tremendous fire from the British Squadron and hoisted the flag on board the 'Niagara'." Perry supervised the building of a fleet at Erie, Pennsylvania, at the age of 27. He earned the title "Hero of Lake Erie", receiving a Congressional Gold Medal and the Thanks of Congress. His leadership materially aided the successful outcomes of all nine Lake Erie military campaign victories. The Battle of Lake Erie, sometimes called the Battle of Put-in-Bay ensured American control of the lake for the rest of the war, which in turn allowed the Americans to recover Detroit and win the Battle of the Thames to break the Indian confederation of Tecumseh.
