The Perry Centennial: 1913

On September 10, 1813, the U.S. naval squadron on Lake Erie, commanded by 28-year-old Oliver Hazard Perry, defeated the British squadron off Put-in-Bay, near Sandusky, OH. The actions of this 9-vessel squadron were instrumental in defeating the British during the War of 1812 by giving control of Lake Erie to the Americans. As a result, Commodore Perry and his relief flagship, the U.S. Brig Niagara , were written into the young history of the United States.

In 1913, the Niagara was reconstructed with the original keel and a few timbers and towed to larger cities from Chicago to Buffalo.

Buffalo had a Perry Centennial Commission, chaired by William J. Conners, that made extensive plans to celebrate the arrival of the 123-foot-long Niagara on September 2; events were also scheduled for the next 4 days.

Of her arrival, the Buffalo Evening News said, "As the Niagara passed Fort Porter and the Front, a national salute of 13 guns was fired. Thus the voyage continued until an excellent view was had of her by the assembled multitude. The whistles screamed, the bells rang and the populace shouted its welcome, noisy but the genuine American greeting, which only those of the United States seem to know how to give as vent to their patriotic and civic feelings."

The Buffalo Yacht Club was responsible for clearing the waterway and escorting the Niagara to its berth beside the Yacht Club. Over the next several days, thousands of visitors boarded the ship. There was a large military parade, a parade of veteran and volunteer fire companies, a fireworks display at Riverside Park, yacht races and motorboat races off Grand Island. There was even a "hydro-aeroplane" exhibition which towed a woman wearing a parachute over the harbor.

The New York State Perry Victory Centennial Committee continued to work for erection of a statue in Buffalo to commemorate the naval hero. It was sculpted by Charles H. Niehaus (who also created the Lincoln statue for the Buffalo Historical Society in 1902) and installed at the Front in 1916.

Buffalo also remembered Perry by naming a boulevard, a street, and a public housing project after him.

The nine-foot figure reflects Perry's youthful visage at the time of his heroic actions. He reported his victory at the Battle of Lake Erie by penning the immortal lines to General William Henry Harrison, "We have met the enemy and they are ours; two ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop."

Oliver Hazard Perry would not live to old age. He died at sea on his birthday in 1819, at age 34, of yellow fever.

BEST selfie spots in Moscow (PHOTOS)

Where in Moscow can you feel like you’re in New York’s Central Park? How to see the entire city from one observation deck and what’s unusual about a regular business center?

The Floating Bridge in Zaryadye

Zaryadye Park is located in the very center of Moscow, near the Red Square. The V-shaped floating bridge hovers over the Moskva River and, from the right angle, you can catch the Kremlin or the Kotelnicheskaya Embankment building on camera. The bridge always has a lot of people on it, so it’ll be a mission to take a photo without strangers in it!

The Sparrow Hills observation deck

It’s located right across from the main building of Moscow State University and offers a panoramic view of Moscow. From there, you can see Moscow City, the White House, Luzhniki Stadium, Stalin’s skyscrapers and Novodevichy Convent . From the deck, you can take a selfie with the entire Moscow behind you, then you can turn around and take a photo against Moscow State University!

The Izmailovo Kremlin

This “toy” kremlin was created in 2003; today, you can find a cathedral, workshops, museums and cafes there. Entry is free, so you can take a photo against any building of the ensemble. If you want to catch the entire kremlin on camera, stand on the white-red pedestrian bridge.

Krasnogvardeyskiye Prudy

This now-trendy photo location is very reminiscent of Central Park in New York with its combination of greenery and city skyline. To get a good angle, head to the wooden deck near the ponds, stand closer to the handrails and be sure that you don’t have any construction going on behind you.

The observation deck of the Federation Tower

You can take a selfie at a height of 327 meters with a panoramic view of Moscow on the ‘Panorama360’ observation deck of one of the towers in Moscow City. However, a single-visit ticket will cost you up to 2,900 rubles (approx. $32!), depending on the age of the visitor, so you better make your selfie count!

The Narkomfin Building

One of the most famous examples of the Constructivist style buildings of the Soviet era became a favorite place for photographers. Initially, this building was erected for the employees of the Ministry of Finances of the USSR – that’s how the building received its name. Today, it is just a regular residential block; however, only the residents of the building can get inside without booking an excursion. But, you’re allowed to take photos outside; entry to the territory of the building is also free.

‘White Square’

In reality, this is the name of a business center, but the space around it is now dubbed the same. The location is interesting, because this modern office complex towers around an Old Believers’ church. If you pick the right angle, you can even catch the reflection of the church in the mirror windows of the business center!

This creative cluster was built on the site of a former factory. You’ll find stores, cafes, offices, as well as educational institutions. The space is decorated with graffiti and with sculptures by modern artists. To get the majority of the cluster in your selfie, it’s better to climb higher – for example, go on an excursion around the territory with roof access. But, keep in mind that excursions here are not held every day and you should buy a ticket in advance – it costs 1,500 rubles (approx. $17). Without an excursion entry to the territory of the cluster is free.

The observation deck of the Central Children’s Store

There’s an observation deck on the roof of the Central Children’s Store . Thanks to the Central Children’s Store’s location, a selfie from there will catch almost all main landmarks of the capital’s center. The entrance is on the 6th floor; the entry fee is 199 rubles (approx. $2.20).

Mosfilm film sets

If you already have a photo with a backdrop of modern Moscow, you can head to the Mosfilm movie studio pavilion. There, you’ll find a movie set complex, depicting the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg in the 19th century. However, you can only go to Mosfilm on an official excursion – a ticket for a group excursion costs up to 750 rubles (approx. $8.30).
