Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial
46th Military Police Command
June 21, 2020 | 0:31
Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial is a 352-foot-tall monument and the tallest Doric column in the world. It commemorates the Battle of Lake Erie which took place on September 10, 1813. During the battle, Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry led a fleet to victory in one of the most significant naval battles to occur in the War of 1812. Located on South Bass Island, Ohio, the memorial also celebrates the lasting peace between Britain, Canada, and the United States that followed the war. The monument was constructed by a multi-state commission from 1912 to 1913, but wasn’t fully completed until 1931. Beneath the stone floor of the monument are interred the remains of three American and three British officers who were killed in the Battle of Lake Erie. (U.S. Army video by Spc. Brian Pearson)
