THE COVER
A 352-foot monument of pink Milford granite
commemorates the victory won by the nine small naval vessels of Oliver
Hazard Perry over British forces in the battle of Lake Erie, September
10, 1813, and signalizes the remarkable record of international concord
which has characterized American-Canadian relations for more than 125
years. The gigantic Doric column 300 feet high has at its top an
observation platform which is capped by a 23-foot bronze reflector
weighing 11 tons and equipped with powerful lights that project a
vertical beam. More than 15,000 visitors took the elevator to the top of
the memorial during the last travel year for a view of the historic spot
six miles due west where Perry gained his victory under a battle flag
bearing Captain Lawrence's memorable words: "Don't give up the
ship."
