Commemorative services prompted the recovery of both of Oliver Hazard Perry’s flagships. In 1875 the USS _Lawrence _was raised for the U.S. Centennial International Exhibition of 1876, and was soon destroyed by fire. A century after the Battle of Lake Erie, the USS _Niagara _was raised from Misery Bay for restoration. In 1913 she was “restored,” as seen here. The brig was transferred to the City of Erie in 1917. In three subsequent “restorations,” the most recent completed in 1990, so little remains of the original vessel that the USS _Niagara _of today is most often considered a replica.
