During the war against Britain, Perry supervised the building of a fleet at Erie, Pennsylvania. He earned the title Hero of Lake Erie for leading American forces in a decisive naval victory at the Battle 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, and the victory was a turning point in the battle for the west in the war.

Perry became embroiled in a long standing and bitter controversy with the commander of USS Niagara, Captain Jesse Elliott, over their conduct in the Battle of Lake Erie, and both were the subject of official charges. In 1. 81. 5, he successfully commanded Java in the Mediterranean during the Second Barbary War. So seminal was his career that he was lionized in the press being the subject of scores of books and articles. He has been frequently memorialized, and many places, ships and persons have been named in his honor. Childhood and early lifeeditAs a boy, Perry lived in Tower Hill, Rhode Island,5 sailing ships in anticipation of his future career as an officer in the United States Navy. He was the oldest of five boys born to Christopher and Sarah Perry. Perry came from a long line of accomplished naval men from both sides of his family. His mother taught Perry and his younger brothers to read and write and had them attend Trinity Episcopal Church regularly, where he was baptized by Reverend William Smith on April 1, 1. Reverend Theodore Dehon, rector of the church from 1. Perry. 6 He was educated in Newport, Rhode Island. Early naval careereditThrough his fathers influence, Perry was appointed a midshipman in the United States Navy, at the age of thirteen, on April 7, 1. Perry sailed aboard the USS General Greene, of which his father was commanding officer, on her maiden voyage in June 1. The ship made its first stop in Cuba, charged with receiving American merchant ships and providing escort from Havana to the United States. Perrys service aboard the General Greene continued during the Quasi War with France. He first experienced combat on February 9, 1. French colony of Haiti, which was in a state of rebellion. During the First Barbary War, he served aboard the USS Adams1. USS Nautilus. He then served under Captain John Rodgers on the USS Constitution and USS Essex. He was placed in charge of construction of gunboats in Newport and Westerly, Rhode Island. Beginning in April 1. USS Revenge, engaging in patrol duties to enforce the Embargo Act, as well as a successful raid to regain an American ship held in Spanish territory in Florida. On January 9, 1. 81. Revenge ran aground off Rhode Island and was lost. Seeing fairly quickly that he could not save the vessel, Perry turned his attention to saving the crew, and after helping them down the ropes over the vessels stern, he was the last to leave the vessel. The subsequent court martial exonerated Perry, placing blame on the ships pilot. A1. In January 2. Revenge, nearly 2. Cannons from the Revenge were salvaged by the U. S. Navy in 2. 01. Following the court martial, Perry was given a leave of absence from the Navy. On May 5, 1. 81. 1, he married Elizabeth Champlin Mason of Newport, Rhode Island, whom he had met at a dance in 1. They enjoyed an extended honeymoon touring New England. The couple would eventually have five children, with one dying in infancy. War of 1. 81. 2editAt the beginning of the War of 1. Watch Taking Earth Online Earnthenecklace. British Royal Navy controlled the Great Lakes, except for Lake Huron, while the United States Navy controlled Lake Champlain. The American naval forces were very small, allowing the British to make many advances in the Great Lakes and northern New York waterways. The roles played by commanders like Oliver Hazard Perry, at Lake Erie and Isaac Chauncey at Lake Ontario and Thomas Macdonough at Lake Champlain all proved vital to the naval effort that provided the most redeeming military feature of that war. Naval historian E. B. Potter noted that all naval officers of the day made a special study of Nelsons battles. Oliver Perry was no exception. At his request, he was given command of the American naval forces on Lake Erie during the war. Secretary of the Navy Paul Hamilton had charged prominent merchant seaman Daniel Dobbins with building the American fleet on Presque Isle Bay at Erie, Pennsylvania, and Perry was named chief naval officer. Perry knew battle was coming, and he consciously followed Nelsons example in describing his battle plans to his captains. Perrys instructions were Commanding officers are particularly enjoined to pay attention in preserving their stations in the Line, and in all cases to keep as near the Lawrence as possible. Engage your designated adversary, in close action, at half cables length. B2. Oliver H. Perry, General Order, USS Lawrence. Hero of Lake ErieeditOn September 1. Perrys command fought a successful fleet action against a squadron of the Royal Navy in the Battle of Lake Erie. It was at the outset of this battle that Perry famously said, If a victory is to be gained, I will gain it. Initially, the exchange of gunfire favored the British. Perrys flagship, the USS Lawrence, was so severely disabled in the encounter that the British commander, Robert Heriot Barclay, thought that Perry would surrender it, and sent a small boat to request that the American vessel pull down its flag. Faithful to the words of his battle flag, DONT GIVE UP THE SHIP a paraphrase of the dying words of Captain James Lawrence, the ships namesake and Perrys friend,2. Perry, with Lawrenceschaplain and purser as the remaining able crew, personally fired the final salvo,2. USS Niagara. Once aboard, Perry dispatched Niagaras commander, Captain Jesse Elliott, to bring the other schooners into closer action while he steered Niagara toward the damaged British ships. Like Nelsons Victory at Trafalgar, Niagara broke the opposing line. Perrys force pounded Barclays ships until they could offer no effective resistance and surrendered. Although he had won the battle aboard Niagara, he received the British surrender on the deck of the recaptured Lawrence to allow the British to see the terrible price his men had paid. Perrys battle report to General William Henry Harrison was famously brief We have met the enemy and they are ours two ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop. CThis was the first time in history that an entire British naval squadron had surrendered, and every captured ship was successfully returned to Presque Isle. Although the engagement was small compared to Napoleonic naval battles such as the Battle of Trafalgar, the victory had disproportionate strategic importance, opening Canada up to possible invasion, while simultaneously protecting the entire Ohio Valley. The loss of the British squadron directly led to the critical Battle of the Thames, the rout of British forces by Harrisons army, the deaths of Tecumseh and Roundhead, and the breakup of his Indian alliance.
