Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial commemorates the Battle of Lake Erie that took place near Ohio's South Bass Island, in which Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry led a fleet to victory in one of the most decisive naval battles to occur in the War of 1812.[1] Located on an isthmus on the island,[2] the memorial also celebrates the lasting peace between Britain, Canada, and the United States that followed the war.
